Find a Pureology Salon
I will fix leaky faucets and toilets – a small leak from a faucet can waste 50 gallons of water a day and a leaky toilet can waste
260 gallons a day.
I will always wash full loads of clothes and dishes – washing machines use 30 to 60 gallons of water for the wash cycle.
I will install high efficiency showerheads, faucets and toilets – high efficiency showerheads, which cost about $15,
can reduce water use by 50%; water efficient toilets use 50 to 80% less water.
I will water lawns and gardens in the evening or early in the morning to avoid excessive evaporation – on average, about 35%
of household water goes to tending yards.
I will use fertilizers and pesticides sparingly and carefully – residential use of pesticides accounts for about 8% of all pesticide
applications, urban runoff accounts for about 14% of common water pollution and just over half of that is due to residential use
of fertilizers.
I will ask my hairdresser to turn off the tap while shampooing or conditioning my hair.
