It takes a lot of energy to pump, heat, and treat your water. Simple things like reducing water consumption make a big impact! You can make changes like taking shorter showers, turning off the faucet when you’re brushing your teeth, and switching to water-efficient fixtures to reduce the amount of water you use.
- If 1 out of every 100 American homes switched to water-efficient fixtures, it would save around 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year and prevent 80,000 tons of global warming pollution.
