Water
How you consume water makes a big impact on our natural environment and the carbon we emit.
Steps you can take
Reduce waste water
Wasting water also wastes energy. Do what you can to minimise water waste. Some ideas to get you started:
- Encourage staff and volunteers to use reusable water bottle by having a water bottle refill site.
- When you're filling up don't keep the tap running.
- Use the sink plug or washing up bowl when washing dishes, rather than under a running tap.
- If you use a dishwasher, make sure it is full before running a cycle.
- Make sure you only use the amount of water that you need.
- Turn the tap off in between uses.
