2. IMPORTANCE OF WATER
Water was considered by
Ancient Greeks as one of the
four basic elements forming
the universe.
Water is vital for every living being. It is an
important part of a country’s wealth; so
we mustn’t waste it.
3. IMPORTANCIA DEL AGUA
Drinking water is essential for human life,
but it’s scarce as the population increases y
that’s beacuse of ignorant and irresponsible
people.
In addition to drinking water, we use it for several
daily activities, that is, we need it to cook, to wash
up, personal hygiene, watering plants and crops,
animals, in factories, energy production, and so on.

BATHS / SHOWERS: If we replace baths for five-minute
showers and if we turn the tap off while we’re soaping up
we willl save up to 50 l instead of the 250 l we would use
having a bath.
12. MEASURES IMPLEMENTED ON
SPECIAL CASES
CISTERN: With a 6-litre SAVING
cisterns we can cut the water
consumption a 50 per cent if 50
we introduce a one-litre
plastic bottle and using a %
double-flush cistern.
This could save us 3 litres in
each flush.

HAND WASHING / TEETH BRUSHING: We spend about
seconds every time we wash our hands and about 40 to
50 seconds brushing our teeth. Considering that we
turned off the tap in the development of the action, the
average consumption could be of about 3 l. Thus, we
could save a 40 per cent of the water consumption.

WASHING MACHINE / DISH WASHER: Depending on our
consumption, we use both appliances about 1099 times a year,
with an average consumption of 55l. If we carry out full loads
with an economic and efficient programme, we can save n 18,2
per cent, decreasing the average consumption to 45l.

CLEANING: As a way to save water on cleaning
plantes, if we use ecologic detergents for our wahings we can reuse
the water from the wastepipe. Although we can not always do it,
maybe one every two washes. This water can be used to scrub the
floor and also to water the plants since they would not be affected
by that type of detergent. With this measure we could save up to
the 37.2 %
17. ELECTRIC ENERGY CONSUMPTION
• When Thales of Miletos started
rubbing amber stones with cat’s
fur around 600 BC, he couldn’t
imagine that the static
electricity he was observing
could, some years later,
transport people from distant
places in metallic boxes we know
as cars, among many other
18. Our lives without electricity
• A glance around will reveal that we are so
deeply surrounded by energy that we don’t
even notice.
Energy starts up our modern lives.
• Maybe that’s the reason why we waste it so
stupidly.

23. • Saving on light: Just by using low consumption
light bulbs instead of the ordinary ones, we
could save an 80 % of the energetic
consumption.
24. • Central Heating: The recommended
temperature during the winter is from 22º C
to 24º C. By lowering the thermostat of our
central heating we save up to 7 % on
electricity per degree. So if we wear a
sweater instead of setting the heating to 24º
C we will save approximately 14%.
2º C
25. • Television: Most of the modern TV have the
possibility of being set to a stand-by mode.
But that mode is also using energy,
approximately a 15 percent of the energy it
would used when it’s switched on (about 3
hours a day). Unplugging our television
instead of setting the stand-by mode could
save an extra 70%.
26. • Ceramic hobs:Cooking is not something we can
avoid. But the energy we waste on it could be
reduced if we used a lid. That would mean a
25% cut on the energy we need to prepare a
tasty and efficient meal.
