- 71% of the planet is covered by water, but only 3% is fresh water. Much of it is frozen, trapped in polar ice caps, glaciers, underground, in the atmosphere or too polluted for consumption. Only 0.03% is drinkable and easily accessible water, found in rivers, lakes, dams, and reservoirs.
- Tap water has a cost of collection, treatment, and distribution. We need to save water, both to protect resources and the environment, and to reduce costs reflected in household utility bills.
- By preventing water waste, we promote the sustainability of our planet and ensure the supply for future generations.
Here’s what you can do, right now:
- Keep the faucet off when brushing your teeth (guys – and while shaving ).
- Take short showers.
- Avoid high-pressure showers.
- Turn on the washing machine only when it’s fully loaded.
- Notify the administrator if you see taps or toilets losing water.
