Resilience in water systems means being able to adapt, recover, and thrive through change. I will spend 10 minutes learning how people and communities build water resilience and reflect on how I can apply this knowledge.
Rainwater collection reduces water waste and supports local needs. I will install a rain barrel or collect rainwater to use for outdoor tasks, such as watering plants or cleaning.
Greywater—or lightly used household water—can sometimes be reused for tasks like watering plants or cleaning. I will learn about safe and practical ways to recycle greywater at home, school, or work.
Access to clean water is a basic human right, yet many communities worldwide lack it. I will spend 10 minutes learning about water justice issues and who is most affected, and share one insight in the feed.
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.
Communities need strong voices for water resilience. I will speak up 3 times by signing petitions, contacting leaders, or sharing information about protecting water resources.
Mulching helps soil hold water and reduces runoff. I will mulch the base of trees or other plants at home, school, or in my community to improve water retention and soil health.
