DID YOU KNOW?

• The first record of time dates back to 2000BC which is over 4000 years ago, and it was the same way in which we measure time now, in segments of 60.
• Wristwatches were actually first designed for women. At the time watches were created it was the fashion for men to have a pocket watch. The first women to wear a wrist watch was in fact Elizabeth I, which was gifted to her by Robert Dudley.

Yes water usage can be reduced through reuse. 

REDUCE

• Showers are the biggest water user in the house using 25%. People generally spend seven-and-a-half minutes in the shower. 87% of people do not exceed ten minutes on their daily shower. A shower is better than a bath. A full bathtub requires about 70 gallons of water, while taking a five-minute shower uses 10 to 25 gallons. 
• Toilets use 22% of water.  Make sure you have a low flush toilet, that is 4.5 litres or under. If you can't afford a low energy flush toilet then place a "hippo" bag (available from the water board) in the cistern.  Better still, fill a plastic milk container with water and place that in the cistern.

REUSE

• You can reuse your "grey water", that's the water from your bath, dishwasher, shower, washing machine, etc.  This makes up almost half of all residential waste water and can be useed for watering the garden and washing the car for example.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Each person uses about 142 litres of water each day.
• The average household uses 349 litres of water each day.
• 40% of households boil the kettle four times or more a day – and most (75%) say they boil more water than they need.

• There are 2 different wood recycling containers. Please ask staff for advice.

N.B The recycling sites are for household waste from city residents only. Business waste will not be accepted.

DID YOU KNOW? 

• The most important benefit of wood reuse and recycling is that it saves trees. Some argue that replanting trees compensates for those that have been cut down however it takes a long time for trees to grown to maturity so it is better not to cut them down in the first place.
• Reusing and recycling wood reduces energy costs. When making new products out of virgin materials, much energy is used to extract and process those materials, which includes burning fossil fuels. Products that are manufactured using recycled materials reduce the need for virgin materials, thus saving money and the energy required to extract and process those materials.
• In reality, the majority of waste wood that gets recycled is chipped and the chips used to make chipboard or burnt in power stations.
