# 06 Oct. Limit water use challenge second day
Save the water after washing my face so I can use it to wash my hands, use it to flush the toilet after the water is dirty.
#I use at least 500ml of water one time, so I decided to use a wet towel instead of washing my hands.#The shower used a lot of water, so I decided to use a washbasin with 3000 ml of water to scrub with a towel.#The accumulated amount of wash water is not enough to flush the toilet, especially after the stool, so you have to wait for the water to be washed in the evening, which will cause the toilet to smell a bit. . .

Washing face 1000ml
Cooking 3000ml

# 09 Oct. Collecting rainwater on rainy days
#Collect rainwater for watering, clean the toilet, mopping the floor, etc.
# 10–13 Oct. Gradually getting used to the changes in living habits
#A large amount of waste water is generated during bathing, which can be used to flush toilets and mopping the floor. So I went to buy a big bucket and stood in a vat while taking a shower to collect the bath water.
#Before starting the challenge, the first thing when you wake up every day is to go to the toilet and flush it. Now if the water collected for flushing the toilet has been used up, I will wait to brush my teeth and wash my face and flush the toilet with the saved water.
#There are various buckets in every corner of the house, the kitchen is used for washing vegetables and washing dishes, the toilet is used for flushing toilets and washing hands, so the home becomes a little crowded and not clean enough…
#Because of the use of a gel shampoo it will take longer to rinse, so more water will be used, so I replaced the shampoo with soap.
# 14–16 Oct. Do more things with one pot of water
# 15–17 Oct. How to maintain the habit of limiting water use after the challenge
#There are many ways to recycle water if you want to save water, but it also takes a lot of time and effort. How to make water conservation a natural habit instead of deliberately doing it is something that deserves to be thought about.#Most of the places I use water are toilets and kitchens. If the design of the toilet and kitchen combines the recycling function of water, it will save a lot of manpower and time, and also help to cultivate good water habits.#Japanese hygienic design of recycling water bucket.#This link explains 12 reasons why Japanese toilets are the best toilets in the world.
