Author: CD Mohatta
This is part one of this article series. These days, everyone is talking about saving the environment, conserving energy, cutting down on carbon dioxide emissions, etc. Scientists are warning about the impending dangers of global warming and increasing temperature. Don't you think every small step can help in going a long way towards conserving mother earth for the future generations? Let's start with conservation of water.

You can cut down your water consumption by using less water for your bath (bucket bath consumes very less water compared to a shower bath). Stop using the bath tub because it wastes the most water. Turn off your water tap while brushing. Use a hand sanitizer sometimes instead of washing your hands every now and then with soap and water. Ensure that your toilet flush consumes only so much water that is required to flush it. You can cut this usage down by putting a small stone or a 1 litre bottle in the flush tank.

If you live in an area where it rains often, think of rain water harvesting. In many places, this method of storing water has been adopted with great results. You can use this water for your toilet connection. You can use it to wash your car, water your plants, clean your floor, etc. Use your other water connection for cooking, bathing and for drinking water. Use your excess cooking water (in which you boiled something) to water your plants instead of spilling it down the drain. Plants will gain from the mineral, vitamin rich water. Ensure that no water leakage or wastage occurs in your premises. A dripping tap is alone responsible for many hundred gallons of water wastage every year. So make sure all taps work fine. If not, call your plumber asap. Just apply your mind and don't waste water. You will help the environment in which you live. Continue reading part two in this article series.
