Drinking water is one area where you should definitely not cut back on your usage.
UK tap water is amongst the world’s finest and a few glasses a day is excellent for health and hydration.
But there are a few ways where you can cut waste whilst enjoying the great taste: |
|
- Waiting for the tap to run cold can waste more than 10 litres a day! Put a bottle of tap water in the fridge so you have cold fresh water whenever you want it.
- Pour any left over glasses of water onto your houseplants.
- Fill the kettle with only as much as you need, not to the brim. This saves you energy as well as water!
- Use a lid on your saucepans: they boil quicker, you don’t have to put in so much water and the food tastes fresher - but be careful they don’t boil over.
Don’t stress too much over saving water in the kitchen – water for cooking and drinking is not waste and health, enjoyment and good hydration should come before water efficiency!
