Smart Living at Home: Water and Wildlife

Members of the Sustainable Households Subgroup of the RSA’s Sustainability Network* invite you to Smart Living at Home: Water and Wildlife.

W.H. Auden once said, “Thousands have lived without love, not one without water”. The average UK household uses 450 litres of water per day, most of it for baths and showers, and all of it is purified drinking water. We are used to taking water for granted as a renewable resource – after all it rains all the time, doesn’t it? But what if we have more dry summers like the one we’ve just had? Do we need to be prepared and to think about how much water we use in our daily lives?

Join an expert panel of speakers from Waterwise, the Consumer Council for Water and the RSPB, to share the global and national context for reducing water waste and for making the most of the water we have. Find out about low-cost and no-cost quick fixes to reduce water waste, learn how our perception of water scarcity differs depending on where we live in the UK, challenge the speakers on why you should use less water and understand what any of this has to do with the wildlife in your local area.

Take charge…come and join the conversation!
