Green plumbing, a trend that helps the planet
Green plumbing, a trend that helps the planet
Today is World Water Day, a date that reminds us of the commitment we all have to this valuable natural resource.
A vital element that plays a fundamental role in public health, economic growth and sustainability, it also covers one of the most basic needs of human beings: hydration.
It is important to note that “the average water consumption in Mexico is 366 liters per person per day, with residential consumption being the highest with 576 liters on average per inhabitant” (onuhabitat.org.mx) Shocking, isn’t it?
Now the spaces where we use the most water are the bathroom and the kitchen and according to the National Water Commission, “a person uses the bathroom an average of 7 times a day and 16 liters of water are used in each toilet flush” (www.gob.mx,12/01/2018). On the other hand, speaking of the kitchen, a dishwasher gets to consume between 18 and 50 liters.
Undoubtedly, today more than ever we must take responsibility in the correct use and saving of water, and that is why in our note we will tell you about an incredible trend that seeks to be environmentally friendly: green plumbing.
Green plumbing is a new trend that is here to stay, because it uses techniques and methods that will help reduce water consumption at the residential level, using mechanisms that generate considerable savings of water, gas and even light.
Solar water heaters are one of the devices that join this new ecological wave, since by using solar energy, they generate energy savings and help reduce environmental pollution.
Another thing to consider is to use low-flow faucets and showers, because compared to normal ones, the water saving is very significant, and the best thing is that you do not notice the difference in the pressure of the current. It is also important to emphasize that there are completely sustainable showers, such as the Nebia, which reduces water use by 70% during the shower, and to top it off, it was designed by a Mexican engineer.
Many times, we wonder if making these modifications in our home is very expensive, but the reality is that, although at first it requires a high investment, in the long run you save much more thanks to its profitability, so do not hesitate and decide for this fascinating ecological option.
