10 Acts of Water
Each act you take brings you closer to a world where every drop is valued.
If you are already following any of the acts listed below, please let us know.
Act 1
Notice Your Water Flow
Fix the Drip

Check for leaks in your home from taps, showerheads, toilets, and pipes and repair them directly before the problem gets bigger.
Install smart leak detectors in your home such as Grohe Sense or Aqara
Harvest the Rain

Collect rainwater or use greywater from washing fruits, vegetables, or dishes to water your plants. Every drop you reuse is a drop that stays in nature.

Every meal has a water story. Choose foods with smaller water footprints like fruits, grains, and locally grown produce. Reduce red meat and dairy when you can.
