My Water Issue
How much water do we use when we
brush our teeth with the tap running?
Wednesday, January 1, 14
10 liters

How can we use less water when we brush
our teeth?
Wednesday, January 1, 14
Turn off the tap while brushing.
It only uses 1 liter of water!
Wednesday, January 1, 14
Don’t wet your tooth brush
before you brush your teeth.
It will get wet anyway, and it’s not even healthy!
Wednesday, January 1, 14
Use SHORT
bursts of water to rinse.
Why would you need long ones,
anyway?
Wednesday, January 1, 14
Use a small
paper cup dispenser when
you rinse.
It helps you know exactly
how much water you use!
