Is it bcos of using limited resources for overproduction.
Do our daily habits need to consume so much of fresh water.
Do we all need to have our private gardens that we eventually water with fresh water. Either there are reasonable and effective grey water harvesting systems which then can be used for watering. We can really do without lawns and grow more trees and plants. Mostly fruit bearing and cut flowers that we can decorate or offer for worship. Let’s face it we tend to care and put efforts for that which benefits.
It’s good for the ecosystem at large. It’s good to use hose with tap.also a 3step process for cleaning dishes.wash dishes in a large bowl of water or sink. Second use diluted soap to clean and put in water tub. 3rd wash the dishes save the water. Water from 1st tub can be used in biogas. 2nd grey water harvesting. 3rd can be used to water the plants. Now the challenge is to make it into an auto system.

And doesn’t it emit nasty fumes when it gets really hot?

Touching further on synthetic grass saving water, not only that, it saves time, money, and maintenance. You’ll never be affected by a hosepipe ban, and your lawn would remain the envy of your neighbours, as well as it helping the environment.
Great stuff

Remove the panel on your washing machine,
search for any cracks, leaks or weak spots on your hoses, and replace the hose if needed.

We need to preserve mother nature for our future.

As for water filters, the top selling systems you can find on the Internet today are so-called “reverse osmosis water filtering systems” or simply “distillation”.
These are in fact not the best option since even though they can do a pretty fine job of removing contaminants and toxins; they as well take away the useful minerals that are very important for our physical condition.
here is the water consumption online calculator:

To prevent mosquitos buy what I call doughnuts and drop 1/2 in the rain water it works. Back up a second can to the first and it will also fill up.
It takes about 1 gallon of water to get hot in our house. We collect that water and use it for plants or to rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.

Here’s another: Install a water barrel to catch the rainwater that lands on your roof, then use the water on your garden.

This won’t hurt plants and it’s better for bathers also.
We have an artesian well and live where there’s plenty of water, but we’re still careful with it.
Shine On,
Lill
