Saving water is a problem that needs attention now. When the baby was young, he did not form his own correct world outlook and values, but only imitated them, so parents should give him correct guidance. Let's have a look!
Ways to save water in life
1. Pay attention to the details and turn off the tap. Many people open the door to welcome guests and answer the phone when the water is not interrupted, and often forget to turn off the tap; I prefer to let the water flow when I wash my hands, face and brush my teeth, but I don't know that these habits waste a lot of water. According to analysis, a family can save about 70% of water as long as they pay attention to getting rid of bad habits and develop a good awareness of water saving.
It is also an important habit to regularly check whether toilets, pools, faucets or other water pipe joints, as well as walls or underground pipes are leaking. Because water leakage at home is a common occurrence and a great waste. A faucet can drop five or six liters of water a night, so if it leaks, it must be repaired immediately or simply replaced with a new water-saving product.
2. A vat for collecting waste water should be prepared at home, which can completely guarantee the amount of water needed for flushing the toilet; Rice washing water and noodle cooking water are used to wash dishes and chopsticks, which can remove oil and save water; Raising fish and watering flowers can promote the growth of flowers and trees. Although wastewater utilization is easier said than done, it has obvious water-saving effect. It is estimated that a family of three can save about 1 ton of water every month by collecting domestic wastewater such as laundry, bathing and washing for flushing toilets and mopping floors.
How to educate your baby to save water
1, pay attention to the way of "word for word". When many parents see their children's "wasteful" behavior, they often tell some stories about their predecessors' "not having enough to eat" in the way of "preaching", which is incomprehensible to children because children of this age can't understand and master the truth contained in these stories well. If we can make up a short story about "turning off the tap" in our life, for example, if the tap is not closed tightly, the "tap" will be very sad and shed a lot of tears. Look how sad it is. Children are easily moved by such anthropomorphic stories, so they will take the initiative to turn off the tap. Using children's language and thinking to achieve the purpose of "saving water" may be more effective than simply instilling.
2. "Setting an example" is also very important. Children's behavior habits are greatly influenced by adults, and what adults say and do will have a subtle influence on children, because children's outstanding feature is that they like to imitate. Imitation is their main way of learning. Parents should make full use of this feature of their children and strengthen their awareness of water conservation.
3. Use small games to cultivate.
Nowadays, many homemade toys in kindergartens are made of waste materials, which can not only let babies do it themselves, but also let children know not only to save water, but also to use water resources in various ways. For example, the water after washing clothes can be used to flush toilets, and the water after washing vegetables can be used to water flowers, so we should cherish water from these practical actions.
Ways to save water
1, usually when washing vegetables, you can choose all the dishes, and wash some vegetables first, such as onions, garlic, tomatoes, radishes, etc. Then wash dirty vegetables, such as green vegetables. The water washed last time can also be used to wash dishes, which can save a lot of water for a long time.
2. Turn off the tap conveniently. Turn off the tap when washing hands and wiping soap. Don't wash dishes or wash clothes with running water on. When you see a leaking faucet, you must tighten it quickly.
3. domestic water should be used as much as possible. For example, rice washing water can be used to wash vegetables, and it is also beneficial to remove pesticides on the surface of vegetables. Vegetable washing water can also be used to flush toilets and water flowers. Bath water, laundry water, face washing water and foot washing water can be used to mop the floor and flush the toilet. Taomi water can also stay to wash your face, which saves water and beauty, and saves some expenses for buying cosmetics.
4. Extend the air conditioning drain pipe into the bucket, and you can receive a liter of water in 2 hours. The saved water can be used to water flowers and wash hands.
5. Lower the floating ball in the toilet water tank by 2 cm, saving nearly 3 liters of water each time. If the family uses it four times a day, it can save 4380 liters of water a year.
6. Multi-purpose shower can save up to 80% water than bathing in bathtub.
7. Laundry: Whether it is hand washing or machine washing, you should first add a small amount of water to detergent or soap, washing powder, etc. To fully soak for a period of time, wash off the stains first, and then rinse with clear water several times. Don't set the water level too high when washing by machine. You have to use program control to choose a suitable water level section, which is generally suitable for clothes that have just drowned.
8. Choose phosphorus-free washing powder. After phosphorus-containing washing powder enters the water source, algae in the water will grow wildly, the oxygen content in the water will drop, and the creatures in the water will die due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, water has become stagnant water and smelly water.
