How many gallons of water do you take to wash your plate? Well, I’m sure many more than you might think if you let the water run while you are washing dishes. Many faucets use as much as 3-5 gallons per minute. Conserving water during this daily chore could save hundreds of gallons a month. Why don’t you try the following:

• Fill the sink with soapy water instead of washing dishes with the water running.
• Use smaller amounts of detergent so less water is needed for rinsing – you just need to have bubbles to cover the surface of the water – not enough to make a bubble beard.
• You may let your dishes air dry in a rack. There are a lot of cool, durable designer dish racks that you can use.

Doing this will give you these benefits: You can preserve natural resources. The average water usage is between 80 and 100 gallons of water a day while two-thirds of the people in the world uses less than 13 gal/day. You can also save money on water and water heating utility bills. Install a faucet aerator in your kitchen and bathroom faucets and you could save 13% on your water bill. And, this will reduce pollution. Conserving water helps prevent municipal sewer systems from overflowing and pouring untreated sewage into lakes and rivers. So, think about it now!
