Let's Save Water
>> Saturday, January 16, 2010
I think we all know the basic tips on saving water. The media already informed us about the problem on water supply coming from Angat Dam. Angat Dam in Bulacan is Metro Manila's major source of domestic water. It also supplies drinking water and irrigation to other neighboring places. The problem gets worse because it did not rain since the Ondoy typhoon last September. Will it rain again? We don't know. Summer and El Niño is coming in a month or two. So, people (esp. those who live in NCR) really need to be serious about saving water from now on.
Here are some of the things that we do at home to save water:
1. Instead of growing a flowering plant in my indoor garden, I planted some cacti in pots. I won't need a lot of water to maintain them.
2. Hubby adjusted the pressure of water going up the faucet by turning the knob under the sink.
3. I don't throw the rice wash everytime I steam rice. I use it in cooking and washing vegetables.
4. When handwashing, I also save the laundry water to use in cleaning the floor and flushing the toilet bowl.
5. I machine wash in full loads and that's only once a week.

@maritess: haha.. pamangkin ko sa pinsan yang nasa pic.. kuha yan sa province sis.. ang mga cactus nasa labas na ng window ngayon, so out of reach ni askim.. thanks..^^
I hope people get serious this time when it comes to saving water. Thanks for the tip.
By the way, I didn't know we can use the rice wash in washing our veggies. Great tip!
Lots of love,
Those are some good tips in saving water, if every do their share, won't be a problem...nice pic by the way,reminds me of my childhood habang naliligo sa poso :)(sorry about not being active online anymore,work schedule is killing me but I'll still be here paminsan-minsan)
We really should be conserving water now, ang hirap ng walang tubig. Malakas din sa tubig ang pag gamit ng flash kaya tabo na lang gamit namin, 1 or 2 pwede na. :D
BTW, I visited this site last night but I couldn't get through, buti up na sya ulit.
For #3, I believe the rice wash is best as soup for paksiw na bangus (If I remember it right) :)
im guilty of not conserving water =( but I do the number 3 especially for cooking pinoy food =) good tips mga ito especially those who live in pinas =) thanks for this post.. have a nice day =)
Can't agree any less. Saving water should be everyone's concern.
