Cutting water waste – here’s our game plan
Every day, about a third of the water we use runs down the drain or toilet without being used. The silver lining
here is that there’s so much opportunity for us to cut water waste, cut our bills and cut our carbon pollution!
There are also some easy things we can do (like making small behavioural changes and opting for water-
efficient products) to cut our water waste and feel great about it.
