I have come from a village. When I was very young, we did not even have water connection in our house. When mom was seventh month pregnant, she used to walk a mile to get a bucket of drinking water for the house!!! After a few years, we got water connection. Still, we used to get water once in 3 days. So,'fill water in every vessel you find and save!' (No overhead tanks to store water too!! ).
So, I have been taught very well not to waste water. In fact my pinni(Aunt) always tells me 'If you save water, you will be able to save lot of money'. It was fun to hear when I was a kid. Now, it makes a lot more sense to me! 'Knowing the value of things is not something everybody can do'.
Everyday, I see so much wastage of water in my own house here. These are a few observations made by me!
1.) We tend to leave the tap on while brushing!!!!
2.) Same is the case with shaving! Gosh..it wastes hell lot of water!
3.) Washing dishes!! Oh God!! people tend to leave it on as long as they wash!
Thank god! we have washers to wash clothes here. Else tons of gallons of water would simply go waste!
Simple Habits do change Lives!! India is not a rich country! Resources are valuable to us! Please save water & yourself too!
