SAVE WATER!

How ecological are you? Do you save water at home? And at school or anywhere else?

We are 78% water and we need it to survive. We are contaminating the rivers and oceans and in many countries there is drought (sequía). Try to use the tips below to save water.

TIPS TO SAVE WATER

1. Take shorter showers
2. Don't flush the toilet unnecessarily.
3. Put a bottle of water in the fridge. It's better than letting it run to get it cold.
4. Don't take a shower for more than 5 minutes. You can use a sand clock to measure.
5. Turn off the water while you wash your teeth.
6. Don't use a hose to wash your bike or your parent's house. Use a bucket and sponge.
7. Collect the water from cooking you don't use to water the plants.
8. Recycle as much as you can. All the rubbish you put wrong in the bin goes to the rivers and oceans.
