While 70 percent of this earth is covered with it, the fact  is that less than 1% of all the water on earth is fresh water that we can actually use. Water can often be overlooked when it comes to simplifying our lives because so much emphasis is put on eating healthier, recycling, cutting down on waste and getting back in touch with nature.

The University of Leeds have been researching the concept of a nearly waterless washing-machine to deal with the fact that washing machines use a lot of water – nearly 50 litres per wash – so that we might better preserve this Given precious resource.
