1000 Flowers for the Planet - #104 Install a Water Tank

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #104 Install a Water Tank

This won’t be possible for every household – many people live in apartment blocks – but for those who have a bit of outside space, install a water tank to collect rainwater and use it to water the garden. My neighbour has his connected to the toilet system, which uses the rainwater for flushing and when the tank is dry it reverts back to the regular water supply. Tank water can be used for hand washing your car or scrubbing down the patio. Whenever you have a need for water outside the house, think about using the water from your tank, increasing your self-sufficiency and looking after the planet.
