However, we can sometimes doubt whether a certain type of packaging needs to be disposed of separately or not. And what about this one? When it comes to saving water, the subject is less puzzling – if the tap is off, it’s not being wasted!
Discover a few tips to help you sort our products and reduce your water consumption in your bathroom.
Without having to miss out on a moment of well-being in the bathroom, you can save water by adopting a few simple habits.
When brushing your teeth or shaving, for example, turn off the water tap when you don’t need it. This will save at least 18 litres. If you multiply this by the number of times you brush your teeth and/or shave, this figure will soon add up considerably.
Opt for showers over baths and turn off the water when washing yourself. This can have a dual benefit – one for the environment and one for your skin. For the environment, you will help decrease your water consumption. Taking a shower (on average 80 litres of water) uses up to three times less water compared to having a bath. For your skin, you’ll be helping to take care of it. Hard water tends to dry out the skin, excess chlorine can irritate it. By turning off the water, your skin will be less exposed to it. It is said that five minutes is plenty for a shower, giving you enough time to listen to your favourite song to start the day, or finish the day feeling fresh! For those who want to go further, you can also get water-saving devices.
