The gorgeous + green musician Natalie Imbruglia got up close and personal about water conservation recently when she invited ecological detergent brand Ecover into her English home. In the short film Natalie talks about the benefits of Ecover products and the brand’s partnership with WaterAid. Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to travel to Ethiopia with Ecover and WaterAid to highlight the issues around safe water + sanitation in Africa. Now Natalie Imbruglia and Ecover are showing us what we can do at home to help conserve water for those who desperately need it.

*Apologies for crap quality - twas a phone cam* I’m driving home, turn my head to the right and see a bloody cop copter hovering above the dried up Lake Gwelup. So I did what any other person would do. Squeal in delight and drive in that direction! Apparently someone had been growing marijuana in the dry lake/swamp (whatever you wish to call it), and it had been there for quiiiiiite some time. The marijuana plants you see in this video is just the start. I left because my phone ran out of battery. Apparently 70+ bushes were discovered. Someone is going tooo bee PISSED OFF!

Please Watch! This is for a school project… please help the world keep the water clean, as well as conserving it! You can help by not throwing everything down your toilet. If you have medication you want to get rid of, give it to your local pharmacy and they’ll help you take care of it there. Don’t wash your car on the driveway because it’ll all end up back into the river untreated. If you go to a car washing place, the water gets treated before going back into the river. Don’t pour chemicals down the drain! Call and find a place where they can professionally get rid of it without putting it back into our water. Our water on earth is limited and is disappearing because we use it faster than it gets replenished. Keep all the water left on earth drinkable!! Please show this to your friends and family… spread the word! 5 Tips for Conserving Water: 1) Save water from washing fruits and vegetables or such, and use it to water your plants and garden(do that by putting a large bowl underneath) Why? Saving the water from washing fruits and vegetables is saving water from just going down the drain. That saves a significant amount of water. 2) Drink water from only ONE designated cup Why? Constantly using different cups will lead to washing more cups. Washing more cups will use up more water. 3) Only wash full loads of laundry Why? You should do that because a larger load of laundry uses a smaller amount of water than an equivalent amount of laundry seperated into two different …

To complete this How-To you will need: Food coloring A water jug A broom A spray bottle Step 1: Ask yourself if you really want water Only ask restaurant servers to bring you a glass of water and refill it if you’re planning to drink it. Step 2: Check your toilet Make sure your toilet isn’t leaking by putting a drop of food coloring in the tank. If it shows up in the bowl a few minutes later and you haven’t flushed, you have a leak. Tip: A leaky toilet can waste 200 gallons of water a day! Step 3: Keep cold water on hand If you drink tap water at home, keep a jug of it in the fridge so you don’t have to run the water until it’s cold. Step 4: Recycle veggie water Wash fruits and vegetables in a basin rather than under running water, then use that water, and any you used to boil vegetables, to water your plants. In addition to saving water, you’ll give them extra nutrients. Or save boiled veggie water to start a soup stock. Tip: If you have a dehumidifier, use the water on …

The HydroClean saves water and detects leaks. An independent study showed that these capabilities increased toilet flushing efficiency by 36% on average. Ordinary fill valves are miscalibrated and deliver too much water to the bowl, costing homeowners thousands of gallons of water every year.

PepsiCo India is pioneering several initiatives to replenish water in communities. Our goal is to conserve, replenish and thus offset the water used in our manufacturing process through community water recharge projects and water conservation projects in agriculture. In 2009, the company achieved a significant milestone: Positive Water Balance. Through various initiatives of recharging and replenishing water, it was able to give back to the community more water than it consumed in its manufacturing processes. In 2010, PepsiCo has further increased the amount of water saved and is now water positive by 4.3 billion liter, a fact verified by Deloitte Touche’ Tohmatsu India Pvt Ltd.
