CLEANER BRIGHTER TOMORROWS A more water-wise week. A simple, printable plan for noticing water use and making one practical change at a time. START BY NOTICING. You do not need new equipment to begin understanding your habits. Use this page as a place to write down what you see. [ ] Check for visible or audible leaks at taps, toilets, and outdoor fittings. [ ] Notice when you leave a tap running without using the water. [ ] Write down one small change that would fit your home this week. CHOOSE SOMETHING EASY TO REPEAT. Choose one suggestion from EPA WaterSense and adapt it to your household. [ ] Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. [ ] Keep a jug of drinking water in the fridge instead of running the tap to cool it. [ ] Use full laundry loads or select the appropriate water level for a smaller load. [ ] Use a basin when washing dishes by hand; run the dishwasher when full. KEEP WHAT WORKS. A useful habit should fit ordinary days, not just a perfect week. [ ] Ask the people you live with which change felt easiest. [ ] Arrange repairs for leaks you cannot safely fix yourself. [ ] Choose one habit to keep and one thing to learn next.
