Stay Home Water Week 9 – Conserve Water Week!
With all the dry weather recently and the higher demand on water we need to conserve water more than ever. We need to ensure that water is available for everyone for essential water use such as hand-washing. To help you can do simple actions like stopping the use of power-washers at home; using a watering can rather than a hose in the garden; or taking showers over baths. To help further we have decided to have all our activities for this week about saving water. Enjoy doing the activities and please pass on the lessons you learn to your family and friends. Let us know how you get on and use the hashtag #ConserveWater if sharing on social media.
