When it is summer, all your time is spent in beating the heat.
We all try different methods and ways in which to bear the summer heat and get through the summer and in doing so we spend a lot of money in buying different things to help us beat the heat.
Your efforts should definitely be to remain cool, but you can aim to have energy efficient summer too.
Let us tell you how this is made possible.
Especially during summers, saving water is crucial to be able to avoid a draught like situation.
So every drop of water needs to be conserved.
What you can do to save the water and at the same time help stay cool is by installing kiddie's pool in your garden so that children can use the water and play instead of running sprinklers all the time and let the water washes away.
In kiddies pool you have got to fill up the water only once and then they can be using it all day long and for number of days until it gets dirty.
Whereas in using sprinklers you are going to be wasting water for a number of hours.
You can also do many more things.
Go easy on your laundry and run the washing machine only twice a week.
Similarly run the dish washer only when it is full and do not keep running it at the end of every meal.
Be it your washing machine or dish washer; always make sure you run the machine only when it gets full and not otherwise.
During summer, it helps to take showers and avoid baths.
Bath though very invigorating tends to use a lot of water because you need to fill an entire tub with more than half tub of water to have bath while shower takes only a bucket of water.
Every bit of water saved is contributing to savings of dollars.
So even while brushing your teeth, be careful and turn the tap off and save water.
