\"\"<\/a>Ten simple steps to reduce your ripple effect<\/h5>\n

 
\nIn The Ripple Effect<\/a><\/em> I explore how the some of smallest actions can have great impacts on our water supplies in terms of quality and quantity. \u00a0Here is a selection of simple things we can do at home, or work, that really make a difference:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fix leaks: a dripping faucet can waste more than 10 gallons of water a day<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Replace old wasteful toilets, showerheads, and washers with efficient new ones<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Recycle leftover water from your drinking glass or canteen by pouring it on plants<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Be careful what you pour down the drain or toilet, and don\u2019t use anti-bacterial soap<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Avoid spraying the herbicide Atrazine on your lawn<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Plant your garden in a way that suits its environment.\u00a0 Water your garden at night, not during the day, when evaporation is high. Use timers, water sensors, and drip-irrigation systems.\u00a0 Widen tree-pits and collect rainwater.\u00a0 Use absorbent gravel or brick rather than impermeable concrete for patios.\u00a0 Don\u2019t use the hose to spray away old grass clippings.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Pay your water bill, which maintains key water infrastructure.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Support watering restrictions and the use of \u201cgray water\u201d (cleaned sewage) on golf courses, athletic fields, and highway medians.<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Educate yourself, your friends, and your family about water.\u00a0 Urge your politicians to support water conservation and anti-pollution measures. Water tainting industries are well-entrenched, but you can vote with your wallet.\u00a0 Spread the word.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Remember: every time you use water, even for the simplest things, it sets off a ripple effect<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
