Why Should I Use Water Efficiently?
- Finding ways to use water more efficiently will be one of the greatest challenges of this century, as the population explodes, but water supplies remain constant.
- In many places (notably, Southern California), water equals energy, as it pumped great distances before reaching the faucet. In addition, no matter where you are, hot water equals energy. Using water more efficiently means less air pollution and climate change.
- Using water more efficiently will save you money.
