Green Bathroom

 “Mother Planet is showing us the red warning light – “be careful”- she is saying.  To take care of the planet is to take care of our own house”.

Take care of our Planet!

'Grey' water recycling system

    We can install  a 'grey' water recycling system. At present water used to flush  the toilets is of the same drinkable quality that comes out of the taps. This is an unnecessary waste of energy used in water purification. A grey water recycling system cleans water that has been used for washing and sends it through the toilet system reducing the use of clean drinking water.

Enjoy your shower!

Water is a valuable resource, and you can save  water in your bathroom by making a few simple alterations. Installing a low-flow shower head in your shower can cut your water usage by two thirds.

  

                                      

For best efficiency, take shower instead of bath.

 

Let's start!

     The first things we can do are simple and easy. We can block up draughts, switch off unnecessary lights and make sure taps are not left running. The next step requires more planning and some expense, but as well as saving energy, we also save on bills.

 

    We should use energy efficient light bulbs. These are usually expensive to buy but consume less than half the energy of standard bulbs. Also, these bulbs last much longer than conventional  light bulbs reducing the consumption of resources.
