Environmental Tips

Rainwater
Enjoy whenever possible rain water. You can store it in containers placed at the exit of the track or on the edge of the roof and then use it to water the plants. Just do not forget to leave them then capped so they do not become sources of dengue mosquito!

Car
Replace hose with a bucket with cloth to remove dirt from the vehicle. Wash the car with the faucet is one of the worst and most common ways of wasting water.

Sidewalk
Avoid washing the sidewalk. Clean it with a broom, or wash with water already used for washing clothes. Use the rest of soapy water to wash your backyard. Then, if you like, throw some water on the floor, only for "the dust settles." For this you can use that water that's left of the tank or washing machine.
