Tips on Water Conservation

I learned about water conservation from the television when I was growing up. Makes sense when you consider I grew up in a time before cable tv was the norm and that I live in the desert. Water conservation is something I think is a top priority for me, myself, but I could do better. After a little research, I realize I could do alot better. We all could! Consider the following:

Water Use Facts

• Almost 97% of the world’s water is salty, and 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers so 99% of the water on earth is undrinkable.
• The United States uses some 450 billion gallons of water every day.
• Every glass of water brought to your table at a restaurant requires another two glasses of water to wash and rinse the glass.
• We drink less than 1% of treated water. The rest of this treated water goes to watering lawns, washing machines, and down toilets and drains.
