Weird Shower Curtains

By Kaila Thieman

There are ways to save water but here is one way that most people probably haven't seen before. It is a shower curtain that limits your time in the shower. How?

Catching rain

by Kaila Thieman





We use lot of water every day, but one way that we can save some is by using rain water to water our yards and gardens. It is pretty simple to build a rain barrel and they don't take up too much space. They can easily be placed in a corner of your yard, or even under the deck. There are many different designs and most use household items. When you want to use the water, you just dump it out out or use a hose. If you live in a place that is really wet place where it frequently rains, you can build a bigger system or a smaller one if it is a dry place. This is just one idea to save energy.

When plastic isn't recycled, it can sit in a landfill for 1,ooo years before it decomposes completely. Even the process of making water bottles can hurt the enviroment because the chemicals can pollute the air and water. Not only do they hurt the earth, but the can hurt your health too. They contain the chemical BPA which has been liked to breast cancer, birth defects and Alzhiemer's disease. The best solution is to use water bottles that can be used many times without being thrown out.
