A big problem that\u2019s sending our good intentions down the drain is how we use water at home every day.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i217.photobucket.com\/albums\/cc290\/philoche01\/bul\/AnimatedgifWater15.gif\" alt=\"\" \/> About 60% of our home use of water takes place in the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i217.photobucket.com\/albums\/cc290\/philoche01\/bul\/AnimatedgifWater15.gif\" alt=\"\" \/> An easy way to save water and energy is to install a low flow showerhead. It will not only cut your water usage by up to 20 thousand gallons per year, but it will save you at least 10 percent on the cost of heating your water.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i217.photobucket.com\/albums\/cc290\/philoche01\/bul\/AnimatedgifWater15.gif\" alt=\"\" \/> Low flow toilets are also a great way to save water at home since they use only a third of the water older toilets use.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i217.photobucket.com\/albums\/cc290\/philoche01\/bul\/AnimatedgifWater15.gif\" alt=\"\" \/> Place an aerator on your faucet to cut down on water use. It mixes air bubbles into the stream so you get just as much pressure with a lot less water.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i217.photobucket.com\/albums\/cc290\/philoche01\/bul\/AnimatedgifWater15.gif\" alt=\"\" \/> About 30% of the water we consume at home is used outdoors watering lawns and gardens.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i217.photobucket.com\/albums\/cc290\/philoche01\/bul\/AnimatedgifWater15.gif\" alt=\"\" \/> One way to cut back on home water use outside is to have your car washed at an actual carwash.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i217.photobucket.com\/albums\/cc290\/philoche01\/bul\/AnimatedgifWater15.gif\" alt=\"\" \/> The average professional car wash uses 37 gallons of water for each car, but if you do it yourself at home, odds are you\u2019ll use much more. Most garden hoses spray about 10 gallons per minute, so you\u2019ll use up to 140 gallons of water.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i217.photobucket.com\/albums\/cc290\/philoche01\/bul\/AnimatedgifWater15.gif\" alt=\"\" \/> You could even use a waterless car wash, such as EcoTouch and Lucky Earth. They use as little as a few ounces of water and sometimes no water at all.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lmhvd2RpbmkuY29tL2hvd2RpbmktdmlkZW8tNjY5NzEzOS5odG1s\" target=\"_blank\">Source : Howdini com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are lots of simple solutions to green your home.
