CONCLUSIONS The majority of respondents say they spend more than 15 minutes taking a shower every day. Countries like England, Italy and Spain do not close the tap while taking a shower, but countries such as Portugal and Turkey do it. Most of these countries close the tap while brushing their teeth. The survey also shows that the country that saves more water in these cases is Turkey.
Tap water is the most widely consumed by the respondents. Most of the respondents are conscious that there are a lot of problems with the water in a lot of countries. Turkish people are the least conscious. Only a very small percentage of all the surveyed countries do not turn off the tap while brushing their teeth. Most of surveyed people said that they did not have problems with the water in their countries. The country with more problems is England.
Most of surveyed people said that they did not have problems with the water in their countries. The country with more problems is England. Most people think that they spend water unconsciously in their homes. The country that spends more water is Spain. Spain and England are very similar. 50% of Spanish and British people wash their cars at home. Portugal is the country that most washes the car at home and Italy is the country that least washes the car at home. Turkey prefers washing the car at service stations.
There is unanimity in the idea that oil must be recycled instead of throwing it to the sink. All countries involved in this survey try to save water when they leave home and in their schools. In all the countries, people use the dishwasher. All countries react negatively to the fact of wasting water unnecessarily, except in Spain where people show indifference to this fact.
