Be water wise!
This month's theme is WATER.  To help save precious water:

Fix dripping taps. One drip per second wastes 14 litres per day.
Don't use a running tap to wash dishes or vegetables. In 5 minutes a running tap can fill a small bath. Use a bowl instead.
Take a shower instead of a bath.
When brushing your teeth, don't let the tap run continuously.
Use a water saving device in the toilet cistern - a plastic bottle full of water will do.  This can reduce water use by up to 30%.
Use a bucket rather than a hosepipe to wash your car.
Use a water butt to collect rainfall for watering the garden.
Use a watering can instead of a garden sprinkler.
Use mulches or groundcover to hold moisture in the soil.
