All our actions to help you Save Energy and Water. Colour in a smiley face every time you've done an action.

UNICEF's Tap Project asks restaurant patrons in New York to donate $1 for the tap water they usually enjoy for free. All funds raised support UNICEF’s efforts to bring clean water to children around the world.

Water saving tips.

The Environment Agency's guide on how to save water and why we should be doing it.

WebbliWorld is a virtual world that kids can explore, inhabit, belong to and share. It is a world that promotes caring, responsible behaviour and gives kids the opportunity to voice their opinions on topics that matter, such as the environment, climate change and recycling in an accessible and memorable way.

If you're looking for help to cut your carbon footprint, tips on how to make more environmentally friendly choices or ideas on how to communicate environmental messages you'll find them here.

WaterAid is an international charity with the mission to overcome poverty by enabling the world's poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.

Earth Day is on 22 April each year. Their mission is to broaden and diversify the environmental movement worldwide, and to mobilize it as the most effective vehicle for promoting a healthy, sustainable environment. They pursue their mission through a combination of education, public policy, and consumer activism campaigns.

Loads of water is used in the production process of various of food items and products. Use this tool (halfway down the article) to compare them.

• A running taps uses around six litres of water a minute. With two teeth brushings a day thats about 24 litres of water wasted a day - 168 litres a week. A family of four would save about 35,000 litres a year. 35,000 litre = 35m3. An Olympic swimming pool holds 2500m3 of water. 70 families would fill one swimming pool a year.
• The average person in the UK uses 150 litres of water a day. This takes into account cooking, cleaning, washing and flushing.
• 2/5 of world population already faces water shortages, and 1.1 billion people in the developing world do not have access to a minimal amount of clean water.
• People in rich countries use ten times more water than people in poor countries. Even in poor countries the rich can use as much as several hundreds of litres of water a day, and the poor have access to as little as 20 litres per person per day.
• Water isn't running out - the water cycle is continuous, but with the increasing population there are more of us to share the water supply.
• Desalination turns salt water from oceans into clean drinking water - but this process uses lots of energy, so can worsen the effects of climate change.
• The amount of water we use in the UK is not sustainable, we have to use less on a daily basis to ensure our supply doesn't run out. Water consumption is also linked to climate change - because treating, pumping and heating water produces carbon dioxide - which is a greenhouse gas.
• You can also try having short showers rather than baths, and filling a plastic bottle with water and put it in the fridge. This way when you want a cold glass of water you can simply open the fridge rather than running the tap until the water runs cold. Put a water butt in the garden to catch  rainfall and use this to water the garden rather than using this water from a hosepipe. You can also clean cars and windows with this water.
• Toilet flushing accounts for 30% of our daily water use - with old toilets using as much as 14 litres per flush compared to new dual flush models which use as little as 2.6 and 4 litres per flush. 
• Fixing a dripping tap can save as much as 5000 litres a year - if everyone in the UK fixed their dripping taps we would save enough water to supply 120,000 for one day
• About one third of the water each person uses on a daily basis is wasted - it runs straight down the plughole or down the toilet without being used.
• Despite having a seemingly wet climate some parts of the UK are experiencing water shortages, with the lowest rainfall, groundwater and reservoir levels for decades.
• The energy used to pump, treat and heat the water in the average family's home produces the carbon equivalent of a return flight from London to New York.
• If each person in England and Wales made a saving of 22 litres, this would equate to a saving of 51.48 litres per household(working on the assumption of an average of 2.34 people per household in England and Wales. There are approximately 54 million water consumers in England and Wales).
• The water companies serve approximately 23 million households in England and Wales. Across 23 million households, a saving of 51.48 litres per day, would equate to total savings of 1184 millions litres (Ml) per day.
• If the average person in a household was using 125 litres per day , these water savings would be enough to serve a domestic population of more than 9.5 million people.
• This would be more than enough water to supply the needs of London (7,556,900) Birmingham (1,010,200), and Cardiff (321,000), which have a combined population of 8,888,100
