Korean Expat Community for National Disasters

Recently, I started noticing how much water I unintentionally waste during my everyday routines—especially when washing dishes or taking showers. Even though water seems abundant, it's a precious resource that shouldn't be taken for granted.

To tackle this, I decided to make small adjustments in my daily habits. First, I started turning off the tap while brushing my teeth and washing my hands. Then, I challenged myself to slightly shorten my showers by just a minute or two. Surprisingly, these little changes made me feel more aware of my water usage throughout the day.

Encouraged by this awareness, I also began reusing cooking water—such as water used for boiling vegetables—to water my houseplants after letting it cool down. Not only did my plants seem healthier, but I felt proud knowing I was doing my part in conserving water.

Small adjustments like these can collectively have a huge positive impact on our planet. Let’s remind ourselves daily: Every drop counts, and our efforts in conserving water today will help ensure a sustainable tomorrow.
