Saving Nature

We do know that volunteers all over the world try to save our planet. They clean forests, beaches, and care about animals and birds. However, you can help them too!

Most of you are aware that it is important to go shopping with your own bag and not to buy a plastic one. In addition, many coffee shops are ready to sell a coffee in their reusable tumbler instead of paper or plastic for one-time use. However, you can do more. Let’s see how:

Save water.

Well, it doesn’t mean you have to stop drinking water or drink less. No! However, you can take a quick shower in the evening instead of taking a relaxing bath every night. Also, switch off water during the brush teeth.

A dishwasher would save a lot. Usually washing machine is using 6,5 liters while you would use 49 liters. Keep your eye on the sanitary equipment: a leak or dripping faucet can cost up to 20 liters per day.

Energy.

A washing machine is effective, however, to make it more valuable wash pair of jeans on express mode and use full mode only for big amount of clothes.

Forest.
