Today’s win! #WaterReuse Lately, I had been thinking to search on how to save waste water from my water filter. Today, I saw this plastic water dispenser lying at our home. Just a simple step: put the waste water pipe into the dispenser. And voila! I had half-bucket water in just few hours. I am glad that I can re-use it tomorrow when we have water closure due to repair. Now, I will explore more on how to store it for enabling re-use for daily cleaning activities. As a next step, this water can also be used for cleaning milk packets before disposing them into the dry waste bin. #LongWayToGo! Share one idea that you implemented in your household! If you have read this much, please ensure that your waste water is not going waste. Cheers!

Earth Day - Afterthoughts (introspection) Now that the euphoria of Earth Day is behind us, let's ask ourselves some questions. Whenever possible, 1. Do I walk instead of drive? 2. Do I use public transport instead of taking out my car? 3. Do I take the stairs instead of using the lift? 4. Do I turn off the tap while brushing my teeth? 5. Do I turn off the shower while applying soap on my body? 6. Do I wait to get potable drinking water before ordering a plastic bottle? 7. Do I buy ONLY what I need instead of buying what I want? 8. Do I segregate waste generated by me and put it in the right bin? 9. Do I do the bare minimum that's within my control rather than waiting for governments and business houses to take big actions? #earthday #sustainability #accountability ##healthylifestyle #healthyliving

Don't let grease clog your drains and harm the environment! Instead, pour grease into a sealable container and dispose of it in the trash to keep your plumbing in check. Jugs can also be picked up at recycling centers, filled and dropped back off. For more info., visit https://lnkd.in/eaQXCasr #KeepWaterWorking #EasyToBeUngreasy

Choosing the right trash can liner can cut costs and improve efficiency. Key factors include material type (high-density for light, non-sharp waste; low-density for heavy or sharp objects), proper sizing, the type of bottom seal, and color selection based on usage. Right-sizing liners avoids wasted material, and selecting the correct thickness can prevent tears and spills. Allow me to assist you in choosing the best liners for your specific needs, reducing waste and saving money. #FacilityManagement #CostSavings #WasteReduction #Sustainability #Janitorial #SolutionsByJanvey

Doing some summer sprucing up?! Use water-based paints instead of oil-based to protect our water supply. Leftover paint? Don't let it rain on our parade. Apply remaining paint to pieces of cardboard or pour into cat litter then dispose of in trash bag. You can also dispose of it at a recycling or hazardous waste site or event. Let's keep our waterways clean for all creatures great and small. 🐟🦆 #waterquality #watermanagement #mawssofficial #KeepWaterWorking

Whoa, snow! Just in case, here’s a reminder of what to do if, owing to snow or ice, we become unable to collect your waste or recycling: ♻ Continue to put out your rubbish/recycling before 7am on your collection days. 🏠 If you are due a collection and we can’t make it, please leave your bin out in a safe place and we will try to return as soon as it is safe to do so. We’ll tend to advise further on our social media, and info will be posted on our service status web page updated throughout the day during disruption: https://lnkd.in/eq-zHxGq Our waste vehicles are much heavier (up to 26 tons!) and much bigger than household delivery vehicles, so it is essential for our safety and yours that we are only driving in safe weather conditions. DID YOU KNOW: if we can’t collect bins owing to road conditions, our crews tend to go and help Worcestershire County Council clear snow off the roads instead?

1moGreat tips! Reusable tote bags are great wrappers too. We can always use another one to keep in the car for impromptu shopping trips.
