The Responsible Use of Water Starts with You
While salt water is quite abundant on our
planet, fresh water resources become more depleted every year as
ever-greater demands are placed upon them. With these increasing
demands, and years of drought conditions in the western U.S., the
responsible use of water is becoming critical. Water is the most
valuable resource on earth. Period. Water is the principal substance
that separates our planet from all others and makes life possible.
Water impacts every part of our lives. Why is it then that the
responsible use of water isn’t a higher priority?
Careless use of our water resources is the surest way to bring
about a future water crisis. That’s why the responsible use
of water is important now. The place for each of us to start saving
water is around the house, and most people are surprised by the
impact they can make there. There are hundreds of easy techniques
for the responsible use of water at home, from installing a low-flow
showerhead to sweeping the driveway instead of hosing it off.
The Responsible Use of Water Is Easier Than
You Think
Once you learn that responsible use of water
is as easy as adopting a few simple habits, it suddenly seems irresponsible
not to save. From turning the water off while brushing your teeth
to waiting until you have a full load to wash clothes can save
almost more than two thousand gallons of water every month. Small
lifestyle changes like these make the responsible use of water
easy and have a huge impact on our current and future resources.
This is the goal of the Water—Use it Wisely program.
How does Water--Use It Wisely help in the responsible use of water?
By making each of us realize that WE play the most important role
in determining whether our water resources will sustain our lives
and lifestyles. In making you the most powerful water saving tool,
the program teaches consumers that the best place for the responsible
use of water is wherever they use it: the kitchen, the bathroom,
the laundry, the driveway or yard. When conservation begins with
you, there’s practically no limit to the number of opportunities
for the responsible use of water. We found over 100.
