Keeping our Green Resolutions: Saving Water
By Whitney
Last week, I mentioned that an easy way to save water without changing your behavior is to install a low-flow cap on your sink faucet. The word “install” does not typically agree with the word “easy”, so check out this video of Heather doing the install in just a few seconds:
Did you hear what I said about keeping water usage down in the laundry room? Well, whether your washing machine allows you to use less water or you just need to be mindful of doing a full load every time, we have yet one more eco-friendly laundry tip for you.
Look for laundry detergent that is a highly concentrated formula. The environmental benefits are that there is less water already in the detergent; therefore, the manufacturer is not wasting resources by selling us water that we are simply adding to a tub of water in our wash load. And second, a concentrated formula will come in a smaller package, so there is less plastic per package that you bring into your household. Look for 2x or 3x (or more!) on the packaging to know that it’s a concentrated formula.
