How Can Kids Help Save Water at Home?

What Crafty Clover says in this video

Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. How can kids help save water at home?

The Big Idea

Kids can help save water at home with small habits that add up! Saving water matters in deserts and in every community, because fresh water is precious everywhere. Even a little change helps a lot when many people do it together.

Turn Off the Tap

Step one: turn off the tap. Turn the tap off while you brush your teeth, then turn it on to rinse. Take shorter showers, too, because showers use a lot of water.

Fix Drips

Step two: tell about leaks. Tell a grown-up about a dripping faucet. Fixing it can save many gallons, even though one drip looks tiny.

Reuse Water

Step three: reuse and waste less. Use a bucket to collect clean rinse water for plants, with a grown-up's okay. Eating less wasteful food also helps, because growing food takes water.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look! Turn the tap off while brushing. Take a shorter shower. Tell a grown-up about drips. And use rinse water for plants.

Quick Facts

Quick facts! A dripping tap can waste thousands of gallons in a year. That could fill a small pool, one tiny drop at a time. Small habits really do add up. Ask a grown-up before using any tap or tool.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist, with a grown-up! Put a cup under a slow-dripping tap for an hour. Measure how much water it collects. Multiply by 24 to see a day's waste. Share what you discover with a grown-up.
