The act of saving and conserving water does benefit you because you will be paying less on your water bills.

If we could reduce our washing machines water usage, even a very small amount, it would make a big impact on preserving our natural resources.
For example, if 9000 households would manage to save as little as 5 liters of water per day:
> Collectively, we would be saving over 16,000,000 liters of water per year!
> Collectively, assuming a cost of 2 euro per cubic meter of water, we would be saving nearly 33,000 euro per year!
It is clear that small water savings do really count when looking into the bigger picture.
