If you want to become an eco warrior and make a real and tangible difference to the world or your local surroundings, then one of the most important things you can do is start to become smarter with the way you use or consume water. One of the biggest culprits of water use, besides ridiculously full bath's, are washing machines. They consume a large amount of water that just ends up in water treatment plants and use a lot of harmful chemicals.

By making smart choices, like switching to eco friendly or biodegradable products such as washing detergent and fabric softener, you can start to capture all the water from your washing machine and use it in the garden.

My urban food forest in Cape Town is 100% supplied by grey water from the washing machine. My plants and fruit trees are thriving, producing and have a steady supply of free water to keep their roots at optimal moisture levels, all without having to waste a drop or pay for more water.

If you want to make start making a difference then you need to start using grey water by capturing the water from your washing machine to use in your garden.
