♻️ Eco Tip

Awareness: đź’§ Domestic water use accounts for nearly 10% of global freshwater withdrawals, and much of it is wasted through long showers, leaks, and inefficient fixtures.

Action: đźšż Cut your shower time by just 2 minutes, and you can save up to 38 liters (10 gallons) per shower. That’s over 13,000 liters (3,400 gallons) a year per person - enough to fill a small swimming pool. Quick rinse, big impact!
