TIPS FOR SAVING WATER

Opt for watering at dusk or at dawn, when the

temperature is lower and evaporation is less. Do

not water more than necessary by avoiding water

logging.

The most economical way to use the washing

machines and dishwashers is switch them on only

when they are completely full.

Put a bottle full of water inside the cistern (the volume that it occupies corresponds to saving of water in each discharge).

When you wash a yard or a ride, not recommended

for use only the hose, also use a broom.

In an immersion bath you can spend about 150

liters of water while in a shower you'll spend about

60 liters.

When you wash dishes, first tries everything to lather and only then you open the tap.


TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

Do not waste energy is, above all, a

change of habit for preserving the

Environment for future generations.

It is improving quality of life as well.

It is an exercise of Citizenship.
