What can we do in the kitchen to prevent water being unnecessarily lost down the drain?

First of all, we can start by collect the water we run from the tap of the sink; that water can be collected and used, for example, to wash floors.
When washing fruit and vegetables, we use the soaking technique using a dash of bicarbonate of soda; that water can be reused for household cleaning or washing dishes, just add a few drops of dishwashing detergent.
Again, if you have a dishwashers at home use it at full load and to make washing up easier, clean the plates and dishes using the paper napkins from lunch or dinner; if you boil food in a pot, remember that the boiling water can be used to water plants or, once cooled, can be put into ice containers and used as a condiment for preparing other foods.
They are small steps within everyone's reach that extend the life cycle of water and reduce its use in our homes.
