Water is a precious natural resource, essential for our survival. Millions of liters of treated water drip from the taps every day and are not used for consumption. In Brazil, water waste is very high due to the misuse of this resource. […]
Washing your hands, brushing your teeth or shaving ─ don't leave the tap running, you'll save 12 to 80 liters of water. […]
Flush ─ a flush when activated, for six seconds, consumes 6 to 10 liters of water. Squeeze the discharge only as long as necessary. Avoid pressing the valve unnecessarily. […]
Do not take a long shower ─ 5 minutes of shower running release, on average, 60 liters of water; 20 minutes consume 120 liters. By reducing your bath 1 minute you can save 3 to 6 liters of water. Turn off the shower when soaping.
