We need to conserve our water supplies. Processing it requires huge amounts of energy, generating significant carbon emissions. Reduced pumping and energy consumption also carries obvious economic benefits with reduction in costs, while avoiding the need for new infrastructure that feeds unsustainable demand.
- Check for leaking taps - simple maintenance saves water and money
- If you have a shower at work - change to a water efficient shower head and add a shower timer to encourage shorter showers
