Want to save our water?

A. Swap to a water efficient shower
For you: Switch to an aerated showerhead. Without even noticing you will save on hot water and your heating bill.
For the planet: An aerated showerhead uses up to 75% less water than a regular showerhead.

B. Don't linger in the shower
For you: Cutting a minute off your shower time every time, you could save about 3,300 litres of water a year, and enough energy to make 16 cups of tea every day for a year.
For the planet: Heating water is responsible for 5% of your household’s carbon footprint Using hot water wisely is a cost effective way to cut your impact.

Don't flush money down the drain
For you: If your water is metered, a dual-flush toilet could cut your water bill by 15%.
For the planet: Toilet flushing is 30% of your daily water use. That water is processed before it gets to you, which creates carbon emissions. Using less water to flush your loo means less carbon.

Choose A or A+ appliances
For you: Choose A or A+ rated washing machines and dishwashers and only pay for heating the exact amount of water you use.
For the planet: Fully loaded A or A+ appliances use less energy and water than lower-rated ones. This helps cut carbon emissions and save water too.

Collect free rainwater
For you: Enough rainwater falls on your roof in a year to fill three tanker lorries. Store some in your garden with a water butt and water your plants and wash your car for free.
For the planet: Processing water to drinking quality takes up 2-3% of all the UK’s electricity consumption, emitting carbon. Using rainwater where you can will help reduce our carbon emissions.

Planting tips
For you: Enjoy a beautiful garden and use less water with drought resistant plants. Mulch bare soil to conserve moisture.
For the planet: More plants in your garden is great for wildlife, and helps take more carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Your lawn can help
For you: More water is lost through evaporation with a short lawn. Let the grass grow a little longer and have a greener, more luxurious lawn.
For the planet: Choose lawn over paving for your garden. It absorbs rainwater, which helps prevent flooding.
