So why not start the washer only when you have a full load?<\/p><p>You can save up to 40 litres of water every day, or 288 litres of water every week.<\/p><p>Using a more water-efficient washing machine can gain further savings. A washer that is rated four ticks can save up to 27 litres of water per wash, compared to a three-tick washer.<\/p><p>So, look out for those ticks to save, when you buy a washing machine.<\/p><p><strong><em>A\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>is for always using half flush where possible<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Did you know that flushing the toilet bowl accounts for 17% of our daily water consumption?<\/p><p>Using a half-flush instead of a full flush each time saves you 1.5 litres of water per flush.<\/p><p><strong><em>T is for turning off the shower when soaping<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Showering is the biggest water guzzler in our homes, sucking up almost a third of the water used daily.<\/p><p>By just turning off the shower when soaping, you can save up to 27 litres of water each day.<\/p><p>You can double your savings by getting a water-efficient shower head which reduces water flow without sacrificing performance.<\/p><p>If you haven\u2019t done so, request for your free PUB water-saving kit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.form.gov.sg\/5fe31b76315aec00114a67ea\">here<\/a>. The kit consists of a set of thimbles that help to regulate flow rates from your taps and showerheads.<\/p><p>Also, make sure you fix leaks whenever you spot them because just losing a drop of water a second can amount to 4 litres of water wasted every day.<\/p><p><strong><em>E is for ensuring the tap is off when brushing teeth<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Did you know the bathroom tap that we use for handwashing and brushing teeth guzzles up to 12% of the water used every day?<\/p><p>Just keeping the tap off when you are brushing your teeth will save you up to 23 litres of water every day.

Simply use a container to rinse fruits and vegetables instead of washing them under running water.<\/p><p>If you have plants at home, you can also reuse the water used for washing and rinsing rice, fruits and vegetables to water your plants.<\/p><p>And by washing dishes in a filled sink instead of letting the tap run, you save a further 28 litres! This translates into 15.5 kettles of water. \u00a0<\/p><p>Every little drop counts.

Once it is full, place the items collected into the blue recycling bin downstairs or toss them into the recycling chute in your estate.<\/p><p>Here are 5 green tips on how to maximise the Bloobox:<\/p><ol><li>Your Bloobox does not need to be \u201cfed\u201d. Food or food-stained wrappers\/containers are a strict no-no.<\/li><li>Instead, feed Bloobox paper, plastic, glass and metal. Just make sure you rinse &amp; dry them before tossing them in.<\/li><li>Separate your e-waste. Those need to be placed into the standalone e-waste bin in your estate.<\/li><li>Always flatten cardboard boxes so you can fit more items into your bin.<\/li><li>Bloobox can be washed &amp; reused. When it cannot be used anymore, simply fold it up &amp; drop it off into the blue recycling bin.<\/li><\/ol><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>See here for more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nea.gov.sg\/docs\/default-source\/our-services\/waste-management\/list-of-items-that-are-recyclable-and-not.pdf\">tips<\/a>\u00a0on what can and cannot be recycled.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f16a596 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f16a596\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1519\" height=\"1009\" src=\"https:\/\/cheapwebsitedesigner.org\/ccktc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/oic2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8706\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Follow these tips and you won\u2019t go wrong!<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d16fa5a wpr-button-icon-position-left wpr-button-icon-style-inline elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpr-button\" data-id=\"d16fa5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wpr-button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"wpr-button-wrap elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t<a class=\"wpr-button wpr-button-effect elementor-animation-grow\" data-text=\"Go\" href=\"https:\/\/cheapwebsitedesigner.org\/ccktc\/latest-news\/\" id=\"back_btn\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<span class=\"wpr-button-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpr-button-text\">Back<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpr-button-icon\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M31.7 239l136-136c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l22.6 22.6c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L127.9 256l96.4 96.4c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L201.7 409c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-136-136c-9.5-9.4-9.5-24.6-.1-34z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd93642 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"fd93642\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.22.0 - 26-06-2024 *\/\n.elementor-column .elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--spacer-size)}.e-con{--container-widget-width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer{width:var(--container-widget-width,var(--spacer-size));--align-self:var(--container-widget-align-self,initial);--flex-shrink:0}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container{height:100%;width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer{height:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--container-widget-height,var(--spacer-size))}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty{position:relative;min-height:22px;min-width:22px}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon{position:absolute;top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0;margin:auto;padding:0;width:22px;height:22px}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>$uper $aving Tips for a Greener Earth &#038; Happier Wallet Power Up Your $avings Hacks to Cut Your Water Bill Recycle Today &amp; Save More for Tomorrow In this new three-parter series, we bring you tips on how to save Mother Earth (and some money) by recycling &amp; conserving water and energy.

In this second of our three-part series, we share some hacks to save water and cut the water bill. Did you know that if you can reduce your water usage from the average of 140 litres per person per day to 130 litres per person* per day, you could shave at least 7% off your water bill? \u00a0 Simply remember W-A-T-E-R ! *PUB\u2019s Make Every Drop Count \u00a0 W\u00a0is for washing clothes on a full load About 15% of our daily water usage in a household is used for washing clothes. So why not start the washer only when you have a full load? You can save up to 40 litres of water every day, or 288 litres of water every week. Using a more water-efficient washing machine can gain further savings. A washer that is rated four ticks can save up to 27 litres of water per wash, compared to a three-tick washer. So, look out for those ticks to save, when you buy a washing machine. A\u00a0is for always using half flush where possible Did you know that flushing the toilet bowl accounts for 17% of our daily water consumption? Using a half-flush instead of a full flush each time saves you 1.5 litres of water per flush. T is for turning off the shower when soaping Showering is the biggest water guzzler in our homes, sucking up almost a third of the water used daily. By just turning off the shower when soaping, you can save up to 27 litres of water each day. You can double your savings by getting a water-efficient shower head which reduces water flow without sacrificing performance. If you haven\u2019t done so, request for your free PUB water-saving kit\u00a0here. The kit consists of a set of thimbles that help to regulate flow rates from your taps and showerheads. Also, make sure you fix leaks whenever you spot them because just losing a drop of water a second can amount to 4 litres of water wasted every day. E is for ensuring the tap is off when brushing teeth Did you know the bathroom tap that we use for handwashing and brushing teeth guzzles up to 12% of the water used every day? Just keeping the tap off when you are brushing your teeth will save you up to 23 litres of water every day. That can fill up 153 mugs for rinsing your mouth. R is for rinsing vegetables in a container Extending these habits to the kitchen, which accounts for 16% of our daily water usage, will save you another 33 litres of water every day. Simply use a container to rinse fruits and vegetables instead of washing them under running water. If you have plants at home, you can also reuse the water used for washing and rinsing rice, fruits and vegetables to water your plants. And by washing dishes in a filled sink instead of letting the tap run, you save a further 28 litres! This translates into 15.5 kettles of water. \u00a0 Every little drop counts.
