As we live the renewal of Lent, rethinking our choices and recommitting to faith-filled behaviors, Creation Care Team offers more Small Steps to Care for Creation.

• Install water-saving showerheads, shower timers and low-flow faucet aerators. Approximately 5 to 10 gallons of water are used per minute in a shower. The low-flow faucet drops water use to 2.5 gallons per minute.
• Decrease water use when flushing toilet by putting about 1 to 2 inches of sand or pebbles into two plastic bottles, then fill each with water, screw lids on tight and place in toilet tank AWAY FROM operating mechanisms. Leave at least 3 gallons of water in the tank so it will flush properly. Not enough water will cause multiple flushes and wasted water.

March 22 is World Water Day
Celebrate with a commitment to conserve this precious gift from God.
