Turn off the Tap~

Starting in July, the Banff Aspen Lodge will be reminding our guests to "Turn off the Tap". Did you know that you can save 11 liters of water if you turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. According to the David Suzuki Foundation, leaving the water running for even 14 seconds while brushing your teeth can wast 64 ounces of water ~ that is equivalent to the eight glasses of water we're encourages to drink each day.

Depending on where your water resources come from, turning off the water while brushing your teeth can have a positive impact on springs, rivers and wetland habitats for wildlife that would otherwise been damaged by water treatment plans. The impacts from taking water out of processing can be lessened in small ways that will positively affect of Planet Earth.

Let's all do our part!
