To be able to make the most of the water in our home, it is important that we have some ingenious strategies that allow us to work towards sustainability. We have four tips that can help you on your journey towards greener choices.
1. Shorter showers and closed taps.
We want to inspire you to make your home more ecological, in a creative way. For example, an excellent way to start this process is, in addition to shortening the duration of your shower and keeping the taps closed, start by leaving the plants in the shower or kitchen sink, so that through the water vapor they can receive its irrigation. This is a very simple and functional gesture that allows us to save a little water, day after day.
2. Take advantage of the ice.
Another sustainable attitude is to use melted ice. If you need to defrost the freezer, remove the ice sheets and reuse your water to water your plants and garden. You can do the same if you drop ice cubes on the floor, placing them in a container and then reusing the resulting water.
3. Plants in strategic locations.
If you love plants and want to protect them above all things, and are always looking for thousands of solutions so that they survive anything, there is the option of placing them inside special aquariums, designed for the outside, so that your fish and vegetables take care of each other, while saving water and space. Genius? And very aesthetic, too.
4. Don't waste water from meals .
Also choose Enjoy the water from your meals. Use only the amount of water needed to make rice and pasta or to cook vegetables, for example. This way, you can also better preserve the nutrients in the food, and in some cases the water can even be used again. If there is any water left, reuse it to make soups or wait for it to cool before watering the plants.
