Make Water a Priority
Turns out we’re (consumers) wasting A LOT of water. Wasteful irrigation is responsible for about a third of residential water use - that’s a lot of careless water usage! In North America, we haven’t yet made the transition to thinking that rainwater can do much more than just end up as waste in our drains and sewers.
One tip here is to treat water like there won’t be any available tomorrow. That means having a backyard that is properly designed and uses the right (and local/native) plants, can result in avoiding water waste.
Runoff from your house can be a good place to start - rainwater harvesting is a great way to capture rainwater from your home and use it for watering your garden or houseplants. Also not to be neglected: using rainwater means limiting your household water usage, which means dollars in the bank!
