Leaving the tap on while brushing, rinses away 5 5o 10 litres of water. Leaving the tap on while shaving, shaves off 10 to 15 litres of water. Leaving the tap on while bathing, washes away 50 to 70 lires of water. Every additional hour you leave a computer on, it wastes 200 watts of electricity. Every additional hour you leave a fan on, it spins away 80 watts of electricity. Every additional hour you leave the T.V on, it eats up 200 watts of electricity.

Hi meenrawal! Never knew that, thank you for sharing those informations. However I am just guilty on the first one which is leaving the tap on while I am brushing my teeth. It's such a waste, I think from now on I will be saving 15 to 30 liters of water or sometimes more because I brush at least 3x a day. Really appreciate knowing those things so I can help save and conserve water. Have a nice day!
