Saving water

Kitchen water saving tips:

Buy an aerator for the sink faucet. If you leave the faucet running to rinse your dishes, this small investment will pay for itself in a matter of weeks, not to mention save gallons of water.

Make sure that your dishwasher is full when you run it, to get the most out of the water it uses. If you have to run a smaller load, check to see if you can adjust the load size setting on your machine.

Pay attention to what goes down the drain. The more solid and chemical waste that goes into our sewage, the more energy is spent purifying the water. So skip the garburator (now that you’re composting, you don’t need it anyway), and switch to natural cleaning products. You’d be amazed at what baking soda and lemon concentrate can do.
