Celebrate Earth Day on April 22

Let’s celebrate Earth Day on April 22 by conserving water! Earth Day is an annual celebration around the world to raise awareness to protect the Earth’s natural resources for future generations. Remember, water is a limited natural resource and we all need to do our part to conserve.

According to the website “Save Our Water,” keeping showers under 5 minutes can save 12.5 gallons per shower when using a water-efficient showerhead.

Here are other water saving tips:

• Running full loads in the washer can save up to 45 gallons per load.
• Turning off the faucet when brushing your teeth can save up to 8 gallons per person per day.
• Investing in water efficient appliances and toilets can save up to 35 gallons per day.
• Installing drought-tolerant landscaping can cut water use by 30%.
