Fancy a cuppa?

I love a hot drink... but how can a cup of tea help us save water?

Be water wise – take care when filling the kettle by only boiling as much water as you need for the drinks you're making. You'll save energy and water.

How often do we fill a kettle, then overfill by mistake, then tip excess water away down the sink?

If you have extra hot water, you can pour it into thermos flask to keep hot until next cuppa time, saving you energy, time and water.

If you do overfill the kettle, you can pour the excess into a clean container, and use it to wash vegetables, water your plants, or even wash your car.
