It takes a lot of energy to bring water from rivers, groundwater, or whatever your local water source is into your home. Water must be pumped to a treatment plant, filtered and treated with chemicals to clean it, and then pumped into your neighbourhood so you can use it home. Saving as much water as possible reduces the stress this whole process puts on natural bodies of water in the environment.
Use fewer chemicals.
Chemicals washed down the drain(排水沟) or applied directly to the grass can pollute the water supply.18D Figure out which chemicals you can replace with something else so you can avoid washing the poisonous things down the drain.
Never dump harmful waste materials down the drain or into the grass.
Paint, motor oil, ammonia, and other strong chemical solutions should not be dumped down the drain or into the yard, because they’ll get into the groundwater.19C Check your local sanitation department’s website to find out how to deal with the harmful waste. A specialised waste site will be of great help.
