Water is a truly life-giving, precious, natural resource. Whether drinking or dipping; cleansing or cooking, it's vital we appreciate Scotland's water and look after our waterways and reservoirs.
We’ve all seen how Scotland’s climate is changing. Heavy rains can overwhelm sewers causing spills into our communities, rivers and seas. Scottish Water’s ‘Nature Calls’ campaign is calling on everyone to bin wipes, period products and bathroom and kitchen waste.
Most people in Scotland use about 185 litres of Scottish Water daily. If that sounds like a lot, then it is! There isn’t an endless supply of this precious resource, which is why we need to save as much of it as we can. By saving water, you’re helping to reduce you carbon footprint.
Yep, the nights are drawing in – are you winter wise?
Of course different parts of the country have different wintry weather; high winds, torrential rain, freezing fog, snow, ice, crisp wintry days made for walking… and sometimes, all the above in one day.
We’ve pulled together some winter tips to help you, your family and neighbours be winter wise this year. Little things you can do now that will save a lot of heartache, hassle and money in the long run.
Thanks to you Scotland, you’ve refilled the equivalent of 5 million bottles from our Top up Taps alone! That’s a lot of plastic saved, not to mention every time you top up at home or work, taking single use plastic out of our world.
