INITIAL 7 DAY READING

So when does your family use the most water?

My family uses the most water in the afternoon because we use the dishwasher, I have a 15-25 minute shower mum also has a shower but hers is 5 minutes, so we decided to cut showers to 8 minutes (mostly for me), when we put the dishwasher on we will put it on ECHO settings and when we washed the clothes we washed it with cold water.

MIDDLE OF OUR ACTION PLAN 7 DAY READING

Is your action plan working? How do you know?

What can you change? Yes our action plan is working very well. We are

cutting back a lot of things like have shorter showers, use one bucket to wash the car, we reduced the temperature of the water, turn the tap off when brushing our teeth ect.

I know its working because in the INITIAL 7 DAY READING we used more water then what we did this week. I don’t need to change anything really everything is going well.

FINAL 7 DAY READING

Did your action plan work? How do you know?

Yes my action plan worked! It was long and hard but we got their (YAY).

I know that the action plan worked because mum got the water bill and it costed way less than before and in the MIDDLE OF OUR 7 DAY READING the total use for that week was 1082L and now its 835L.

WHAT MY FAMILY THOUGHT BEFORE I STARTED MY PLAN!

MUM: I think it is a great idea to do this, we will save so much water. It is very important for the kids to learn how to appreciate water usage.

ME: I think it would be great if we save lots of water so mum doesn’t have to pay so much for it and I think the outcome will be very good (it’s just a feeling)

WHAT MY FAMILY THOUGHT ABOUT IT AFTER THE ACTION PLAN

MUM :Water is a precious resource and we needto conserve it now and for our future. Bychanging some of our habits we can: save water save money save the environment.ME :By using water wisely, we can all help to make

sure we have enough water now and in the future. OMG how much we saved was amazing, I can’t believe it. Being water wise is so easy.
