No. No you can't. But what you can do is finish up the liquid because staying hydrated is healthy. Plus, if it's water, or contains water, you're wasting water. What does a landfill need water for?
Which brings me to the next green subject. Water.
So. Water is being recycled all the time, right? So why should we conserve it? It's gonna be clean anyway...
1. Treating water uses energy. Less water= less treating = less wasted energy= happy environment.
2. People use up more water that we can replenish. And seeing how less than 1% of all of the worlds water is available for us to drink...
3. Water comes from the underground. That same water is the source of lakes, rivers, and such. When the water is being used for our consumption, there's less water in lakes and such, therefore heightening the concentration of crap in the water.
Here's a link for more information about water consumption. You can even calculate your water footprint! XP
Soo... How do you conserve water?
Reduce, reuse, recycle! Well, you, personally, can't recycle water, so just Reduce and Reuse!
ReDuCe! Take shorter showers. Wash your dishes using the dishwasher, rather than hand washing. Don't water your lawn so much. Drink all your water instead of throwing away or pouring it down the drain
rEuSe! Rainwater can be used to water your plants. So can the water you use to wash your veggies. If you use water that isn't from your hose to water your plants, you can save a whole lot of it... Buckets and buckets of it. :)
So save water for the fish! And SMILE while you're doing it!
Good list! Also: wash your car on the lawn, so the water is absorbed by the grass rather than letting it go down the storm drain and having the soapiness pollute lakes.
ReplyDeleteAll good ways of preserving water! Thanks! :) And I think EVERYONE will be happier washing dishes with the dishwasher rather than hand washing. ;)
