Caring water in the kitchen

You know how much water you waste if you leave the water running when washing dishes?
 
You can spend up to 120 gallons each time. Instead, all the dishes first soaked in a basin or bucket, then put soap and rinse in a tub of clean water without the water running.

When washing vegetables, put a stopper in the sink. Fill and wash once everything that you consume.

In some parts of the world is consumed on average a total of 364 liters of water per person per day, more than double, for example, in Europe, which use about 150 liters per day. If you want to counter this, savers can put in all the house keys in space toilets and showers.
