REFILWE MATOBVU: I don't bath on weekends anymore if I know I won't be going out. I also make sure I close the tap properly after using it.
NATALIE GOUVEIA: We don’t fill up the pool at home and I take showers instead of bathing. I’m using less water to try and save it.
CHANEL TODD: Well, we have a Jojo tank at home and we use it to water the garden. Also, we divert used bath water and use it to water the garden. I take showers now instead of bathing to save water.
REFILWE MATOBVU: I don’t bath on weekends anymore if I know I won’t be going out. I also make sure I close the tap properly after using it.
