Stamp It: Conserving Water

100 Ways to conserve water

• Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to minimise evaporation
• Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water instead of running water from the tap
• When cleaning out fish tanks, give the nutrient-rich water to your plants
• When running a bath, plug the tub before turning the water on, then adjust the temperature as the tub fills up
• Collect water from your roof to water your garden
• Water your plants deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth and drought tolerance
• Use a commercial car wash that recycles water
• Washing dark clothes in cold water saves both on water and energy while it helps your clothes to keep their colours
