Imagine! Just one slow-leaking pipe wastes 1.2 liters of water per hour!
1 faster leak (“a trickle”) like the one in this picture wastes:
144 liters a DAY!

Can do 1: Save Water (and maybe €, too!)
- Put an empty bucket in your shower!
- Use it to collect water while you wait for it to reach the temperature you want.
- Use the water in the bucket for cleaning, or watering plants!
- Hotel and rent rooms/apartment owners: Offer water collecting buckets to your guests.
