Switch off while you brush! Most of us leave the tap running while we brush our teeth until we have finished the final swill. It’s time to break that habit and save up to 6 liters a minute. That is 35.000 litres of water per family, per year.
If the adult population of England and Wales did turn off the tap, this could be save 180.000 liters a day – enough to supply nearly 500.000 households.
Besides, you must also follow the financial aspect. The price for 1000 liter of water is about 5,00 euros. This price consists from freshly and sewage water. With switching off the tap while you brush, you can save a lot of money per year. By 35.000 liters, you save 175 euro. I think this is also a good factor to switch off the brush.
Saving water at home, in the garden or at work takes very little effort, but makes a surprisingly difference. In general, this involves simply cutting out the amount of water we are wasting through our day-to-day habits – like when we leave the tap running while we brush our teeth.
"The wars of the future are led around water" -this prophesy experts. Many states which have poor water resource are envious of her neighbour and are not declined to lead a war for fresh water if it´s necessary. Particularly as water is absent especially in the regions in which the population still grows. The wars of the 21st century will not be led any more around oil, but around water.

I agree with Julian it is true that we people in rich countries don´t think about the water that other people use to live.We must think what we do with this valuable basic food.
