The first-grade Green Team is reading a book about saving water, and we have some tips for our Blog Buddies:
Instead of letting the water run, just turn it on when you need it. ~Dinosaur
When you want to wash dishes, you should turn on the water, and when the sink is full, use the water to wash the dishes. ~Doodle Monkey
Our water comes from rain or the mountains, so we need to save it! ~Cow
When you are camping, you have a water bottle, and you're doing the dishes, don't use up all the water at once. ~Mum
When you're drinking a glass or bottle of water, don't pour it out on the ground. You should drink it! ~Dog
The second-grade Green Team has an answer for our Blog Buddy Jim in Australia. He asked how he could save water while cleaning bugs off his car. Here's our answer:
~It takes 65 pints of water to wash your family car with water in buckets. ~Bob the Builder
~It takes 390 pints of water to wash the car if you use a hose. ~Back Flipper
~So, use buckets instead of a hose. ~Destroyer
~You can save a lot of water using buckets. You can save 325 pints! ~Flower
Good luck, Jim!

ReplyDeleteHey Big T,
ReplyDeletea friend of mine told me about your site a few weeks ago and I read one of your water saving tips. Unfortunately, then my computer crashed and I couldn't thank you for the tip! I took your "wash the car w/a bucket of water" tip and modified it a little. I'm a cowgirl from Arizona and I have horses. It is quite sandy here and the horses must be bathed often. Additionally, their pens must be wet down so they don't have to sleep in the dust. Instead of bathing them in the driveway w/the hose I use a bucket. Additionally, I bathe them (with the bucket) in their pens, thereby using the water twice! Thanks for the great tip and keep up the good work.
Way to go Big T!
