Saving water together

Hello, my dear readers!
I want the expansion! To expand my campaign. Why are we talking ONLY about planting trees if we can do more everyday being home?
I'm talking about water consumption. Have you ever thought about turning off the tap while you brushing teeth or put soap on the dirty cup? You should!

 
 
 
Let's see what can we do to reduce the consumption of water:
 
 
  • A small drip from a worn faucet washer can waste 20 gallons of water per day. Larger leaks can waste hundreds of gallons
  • One way to cut down on water use is to turn off the shower after soaping up, then turn it back on to rinse. A four-minute shower uses approximately 20 to 40 gallons of water.

Also:
  • Running tap water to cool it off for drinking water is wasteful. Store drinking water in the fridge in a safe drinking bottle. If you are filling water bottles to bring along on outdoor hikes, consider buying a Life Straw personal water filter which enables users to drink water safely from rivers or lakes or any available body of water.

Take a look on it, I promise it is not a waste of time! 


Do you know how important is to put a price on carbon? Yes! This will help us to make our world greener. How? Watch the Green World rising video and make our world a better place for our kids! It tells us how important is to save our planet from global warming. Better world for better people!


We should be together, because, you know, a person alone cannot do nothing, but if we unite our effort we can make big changes! If you have any suggestions, critical comments or anything you want to add you're very welcome! 

Start small - grow big!

Hi!
My specific issue is planting trees. They produce oxygen and make city look bright and green. Go green! For example, as I'm living in Galveston county, we have a nice park next to our house. We can start there and go ahead! Start with small - grow big.
It will make more people to use social media to share, register and post pictures connected to this green campaign.
My specific groups are youngsters, people who have plenty of time and energy, people who want to make their community more eco-friendly and green. Of course I will try to encourage people from green organizations.
Green world to our kids - my specific phrase.
Thanks for your attention!
