Save Water When Washing Dishes

Dishwashers can save water — if used wisely. I will only run the dishwasher when it’s full and skip the pre-rinse to reduce water and energy use. If I don't have a dishwasher, I will turn off the tap as often as possible while washing dishes.

    Home office is more than a convenience. it’s a daily commitment to reduce pollution and use our own resources to reduce waste

    Eating more plants is a win-win. For me, it means better digestion and more consistent energy. And for the planet, it’s one of the most effective ways to lower my carbon and water footprint.

      Until this challenge, I haven´t realized I do have at least 1 meatless meal per day, it is not a big effort, and huge gains for our bodies and the planet ✨
