Cleveland / Use Less Water

Cleveland is glad you’re here! Each challenge you complete is a small step for Cleveland… and a giant leap for the planet. Take a picture of yourself completing the challenge below. Upload the photo here, and you’ll be entered into this week’s drawing. Then come right back and do it again.

Instructions:

Pumping and heating water require large amounts of energy. Take shorter showers, install a low-flow shower head, turn the water off while you shave or brush your teeth, and wash clothes in cold water. (Take a pic of yourself doing what you do to save water!)

Sustainability is so simple. The steps aren't hard at all- like turning off the tap when you shave. One of the students in my class, Conor, has started shaving minus the running water. He didn't know which picture was better, the close up of his cheek, or a basin full of water and stubble. This one's better!

Saving energy while living on campus is about easy daily choices. Case student Tom has started washing his clothes (yes, a college student who does their own laundry!!) in cold water to save energy.

This is my boyfriend Todd getting water from our rain barrel to water plants and fill our aquarium. I made it from an old olive container sourced from a local Italian store.
