Default Saving Water & Other Tips...

Hi,

Been doing this in all cisterns for years & meant to post it - I think I invented the now almost standard dual flushing system !!!! Imagine the amount of water it would save if we all did it. Just fill a litre/two litre bottle depending on size of cistern, pop it in & away you go....Be sure to place bottle on opposite side from water flow to prevent obstruction & maybe an overflow & waste of all the water you saved!!!

Also in the same area...squish/squeeze your toilet rolls before you put them on the dispenser - if they are a liitle flat, paper will not come rolling off as quickly as if they are round...especially if you have little ones in house.

Oh, by the way use only half your dishwasher tablet each too - does the job just as well....

When you receive type written letters, carefully cut out name/address sections from envelope & store them to use as labels on SAEs (for JT & otherwise). All you need is a glue stick - very handy & saves having to shred addresses before envelopes go to recycling.


Cheers
