Five fab water saving gadgets that you definitely need!

Despite what feels like never ending rain, water scarcity in the UK is a much bigger problem than people realise.

With half of the 150 litres of tap water each person in the UK uses daily going down the drain (literally), demand for water is at an all time high. Scarcity however is not the only problem with water supply in the UK; with cleaning and sanitising our water contributing to 0.8% of the UK’s annual greenhouse gas emissions. This figure is further pushed up to 5.5% when it comes to heating water for general use! 

All of this means one thing; it is vital that we are careful with our water! These 5 gadgets will help you in becoming more water efficient in your home and help us to save our most precious resource. 

1)Hippo the Water Saver
