hello friends out there, there is a question in my mind regarding water :
Do u left the water flow while u r brushing your teeth or washing your face?
if u r, pls do the earth a favor, next time when u noticed it, closed the tap or using a cup...i admit that i was that kind of person who left the water flows when i brush my teeth (sometimes i will b forgetful and did it again), after i watch a documentary regarding water, i felt so ashamed that i'm wasting the natural resourse, i will always remind myself to close the tap water.
A little change a day, will make a better life tomorrow ^_^ Do you agree?

Making little changes like this do make a difference if we all do it! I tend to turn the tap off when i brush my teeth and wash my face, it's wasteful otherwise, i suppose it's how you used to do it when you were growing up because that's when habits are formed and they tend to stick! xxx

hello cottonm, You know while I was brushing my teeth I don't let the water to flow instead I have a habit of using cup or glass when brushing my teeth. I was also concerned with conserving water as that's a better way I can do to at least contribute in not having too much unnecessary expenses on water bills. And I agree with you also we must conserve our natural resources.

I actually don't leave the water running. It's just a habit I turn it off when I'm brushing my teeth. Also when I wash my face I get my face wet, wash cloth wet and then I turn it off, wash my face and then turn it back on to rinse my face. To be honest I never did thinking of wasting water it's just a habit I've always had. But good to know I'm doing something good without even realizing it.

Yeah.. Do u know about something that happen to starbucks over water wastage?? lol =D They can keep their tap running the whole day, just to soak or wash their cutlery in them.. lol =D ANd their reason for doing so, is to make sure that there are are no bacterias on them.. lol =D So now, at least u can give yourself some consolation, as u are not the only one and u are not as wasteful like them.. hehe
for me, i will always make it a point to turn off the tap when i'm not using the water, and even i'm doing any washing, i will only turn on the tap just enough to wash, but never turn on fully till it starts splashing around ^_^ hehe

your absolutely right. we shouldn't waste the water because it is very important for us humans to survive. i am guilty of it too, but now i always make it a point to use plastic glass for tooth brushing. that way, you saved the water and you'll realize that leaving the faucet open while tooth brushing is like wasting a bucket of water.

I totally agree! I admit I am someone who will let the water run while I freshen up. I think I should do something and do my part for Mother Earth! I have to do that especially when water is scarce is Singapore. Sigh.

my utmost activity is to differentiate every single day it'll be a waste horrible indeed to copy a day a difference is what makes a day particular and worth living repeating is not for me even unique moments which i try to repeat lose their worth while trying to repeat them heh
