An average bath uses 160 liters of water while a five-minute shower typically uses only 60 liters. If you do take a bath, then share the water with your partner and let children bath together.

Install a rainwater tank
November 24, 2009 in Environment Tips | No comments
Installing a rainwater tank is both cost effective and environmentally friendly as it will enable you to harvest rainwater from your gutters. You can use this water for washing your car, flushing toilets and watering your garden. Ask your local garden centre or plumber what your options are.

Water your plants thoroughly in the cool of the day
November 23, 2009 in Environment Tips | No comments
Instead of giving your plants a light sprinkling everyday, it is far more effective to give them a good soaking less often. This will encourage the roots to penetrate deeper into the soil, accessing the moisture in the ground and enabling them to survive between watering and in times of drought. Remember to water in cool, still conditions as most water will evaporate in the heat of the day or when it is very windy.
