Comment on Saving water in the kitchen by wasteweardaily

Artume- Thank you for the compliment. I’ll try to keep it up. The blog is all about waste, which is why I am highlighting how not to waste water. I’ll try to put some trashion posts in as well.

Artbystrongheart- We have a lot of ants in FL and I don’t like ant poison.

Gina- Thanks, and I don’t know how I left that out. You are so right to point out that a dishwasher should be full, and run on the energy saver setting.

Thanks for the comments,
Cindy

Great post! I also think its important to only run the dishwasher when its completely full. A ton of water is wasted if someone is only running their dishwasher when its half full or with just a few pots and pans. (Same principle goes for the clothes washer)

Thanks so much for article.

Lots of great information. I hadn’t thought about boiling water as a way to get rid of ants (a neighbor has that problem) or using pasta water to kill weeds.

Love your blog! I especially like the trashion-related posts, but the saving-water series is great too. Keep writing.

If you don’t water and you don’t fertilize, guess what? You don’t have to mow as often either. And then you save gasoline and contribute less to CO2.

“Traditional gas-powered lawn mowers are responsible for 5 percent of the nation’s air pollution, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, which recently created emission regulations for small engines like those that lawn mowers use. One gas mower running for an hour emits the same amount of pollutants as eight new cars driving 55 mph for the same amount of time, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.” http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2007/jul/27/gas-lawn-mowers-belch-pollution/

Thanks for the details. I looked at the website too — the warm outdoor shower sounds really appealing!

Hi Christine,
Not dumb questions at all. I should have explained it in the post. So that more people can benefit from the description I will do a whole post on it.
Thanks, Cindy

So here are some dumb questions. Is your hose on the roof attached to an outside faucet? What keeps the water in the hose from just running out the end before it heats up and then how do you get it out when you need it? How long is the hose and how much water does it hold?
