This New Device Helps You Save Water And Money

The National Water Agency PUB wants to solve your water woes!

In conjunction with the National University of Singapore, they came up with a new water-saving device featuring an animated polar bear that disappears when you use too much water.

They found that families who used the device saved up to 20% more water over a period of six months.

In addition to the cute animation that reminds users of the very real threat of global warming, the device also gives ratings like "very good" to "too much".

It can be installed in a matter of minutes and costs about $100.

Here are some other tips on how to be frugal with one of Mother Nature's most precious gifts:
