Water Saving Week

Let’s be smart and save water this summer!

Join us in celebrating Water Saving Week! Designed in collaboration with Design For Good, the campaign features short-form videos with actionable tips to conserve water this summer. The videos share water conservation tips across four different areas and can be utilised by schools in any way they find most effective. The videos are perfect as a springboard for your classroom activities around the theme of water action, to spark discussions about water conservation or resharing on your school’s social media channels to spread awareness about the campaign. 

Day 1: BE SHOWER SMART! 

Did you know that taking shorter showers can save up to 10 litres of water per minute and also save your energy costs? Be #ShowerSmart this summer- small steps can make a big difference!

Day 2: BE GARDEN SMART! 

Be #GardenSmart and conserve rainwater! Installing a water butt to harvest rainwater to water your garden can help conserve treated water, reduce the demand on your water supply and protect the environment.

Day 3: BE WASH SMART!

It is important to be aware of how quickly water usage can add up daily. Introducing small changes to your routine like running your washing machine with full load can help reduce water usage. Let’s all do our part- be #WashSmart!
