The problems facing our fresh waters are complex. We need to work together to conserve water.
Join The Nature Conservancy by taking these simple steps to help conserve water, and restore rivers and lakes around the world:
- Consider cutting a little water usage from your morning routine. Does anyone really need to shower for more than 5-10 minutes? Keeping a timer in your bathroom will remind you to wrap up and get out. And please turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth. All that perfectly clean tap water is just going down the drain.
- If a home renovation is in the cards, splurge on low-flow and water-efficient appliances − they’ll save you money in the long-run:
- Perhaps most importantly, introduce a child to a river or stream! Giving a child the opportunity to discover freshwater habitat is the best way to manifest a sense of stewardship towards preserving our fresh water resources.
