Save water and Earn Extra Money

http://parth-dave.blogspot.com/

Water is probably the most needed substance in order for us to live. Without it, a person can die in just three days! And with the current condition of the Earth, we must start conserving these precious life-givers. We use water everyday, for drinking, taking a bath, washing our clothes, cleaning our car, cleaning our house, etc. But, as we go on with our lives, we seem not to notice that we just take water for granted. One must know that not all waters can be used up readily. Ocean waters contain high contents of salt that can be bad when too much is taken up. These waters undergo a special treatment in order to be potable. Without proper management, our supply of water is at risk and the balanced of the ecosystems will be in chaos

I hope that this blog will be an eye-opener for readers to appreciate water. Hey! you can save lots of money too!


Tip #1: Use meters

Water meters can be a good idea in conserving water. What it does is that, it records the amount of water a person uses. A person who watches his water consumption is more likely to conserve more on the next month. With this, he does not only reduce his water bills but also helping in preserving the Earth.

Tip #2: Rainwater Harvesting

Yes, indeed, you can save water with these. Letting these rainwaters go down through drainpipes of the house and then collecting it using a drum can save you lots of money and save potable water. Of course you cannot drink this, but you can use collected rainwaters to water your garden, clean your car, or flush your toilet.

Tip #3: Treat wastewater

Wastewaters are waters that came from sinks, baths and showers. They can be treated using physical filtration. Upon filtration, you can now use it to water your garden, clean your car, flush toilet and sometimes used in feeding washing machines. Another tip to save and give you extra money!

Tip#4: Aerated showerheads

A brilliant invention to save water. What it does is mix water with air giving more pressure saving you buckets of water. Feels great too when you're having your shampoo. I would highly recommend you get one of these!

Tip #5: Fix them up!

Yes! You've got to fix leaks and any dripping taps. This may save you lots of water in a month and can save you 5,500 liters of water in a year! Imagine, how much money you can save from it!

Tip #6: Washing food

Instead of washing your veggies, fruits and other foods from running water. Try to wash them in a bowl. It'll save you almost 5 -10liters of water or more. After washing, you may use it to water your plants.

Tip #7: Bucket and wash!

Avoid using garden hose and try using buckets to wash your cars. Eight liters of water are consumed for an average bucket compared to 200 liters when using garden hose.

Tip #8: Faucets

Oh well, the old time favorite, brushing teeth while the water is running. Either you wash your hands or you brush your teeth, try not to let the tap water run and instead open the faucet when needed. In fact, five liters of water is wasted every minute by just letting the water run through the faucet.


Well these are just some of my points, there are more ways on how you can save water. It'll just take you some creativity. Remember, save today and earn someday!

Hope this blog somehow helped you. Feel free to comment on. I encourage you to give out some of your own ideas. Thank you!

Global warming is not new, in fact it's on the news every week! Same old reports like melting of the glaciers and forest fires etc. This is done so that we are informed of the truth about the world. Who knows, 2012 might be it. But as along as we are still here. We still have the capacity to work on our current situation. We still have the power to change things back to normal, the way it used to be.

We cannot deny the fact that the Earth's temperature increases yearly, that's a fact and you've read it right! I suppose you're already experiencing it and we must act now. We must act the very best we can to stop global warming and avert potential dangers that may happen.

For those who still don't know yet, Global warming is a condition of the Earth wherein temperature increases at a much higher rate compare to the past. It may not have significant instant effects and maybe you will not be able to feel it but as time passes by, even a 0.5 degrees increase in temperature have an adverse effects on the natural systems of the planet such as seasons, ecosystems and life cycles. If we do not change our lifestyles according what the Earth wants, we will suffer all the consequences.


I will give you some examples of the threats of global warming

http://www.global-changes.com/global-warming-in-australia-a-climate-changing/

1.) Melting of the Polar regions
2.) Rising of sea level
3.) Ecosystem of plants and animals are changing
4.) Other species are dying
5.) Increasing bug infestations

With these factors changing abruptly and almost uncontrollable today, mankind is at risk! One factor to consider in this situation is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. This silent but deadly compound is above our skies since the start of industrialization. What it does is, it actually let the sunlight pass entering through our atmosphere but blocks it and preventing it to go out. Therefore, increasing the temperature of the Earth. But there are a lot more to consider and this is just an eye-opener for us.


This is what this blogsite is all about. We will try our very best to convey our message to the simplest explanation we can and help you achieve a sustainable living without having so much compromises about your daily lives. We will make sure that you'll still be able to enjoy your every day while helping our planet Earth recover from its disease.
