UN statistics tell us that the average American is using approximately 100 gallons of water per day!
Here's how that breaks down:
Faucet: 16.7% or 15 Gallons
Toilet: 26.7% at 5 Gallons per Flush
Dishwasher: 1.4%
Clothes Washer: 21.7%
Shower: 15.9% at 20 Gallons per Shower
Leaks: 13.7%
Other 2.2%
By using your water more efficiently you could reduce your annual water bill from $500 down to $300. It just make so much ¢ents to conserve your water. Water conservation also: reduces pollution, protects ecosystems, and saves the 1% of the Earth's drinkable water for future droughts and generations. So why not release your inner Zen monk and practice mindfulness everyday. As the Dalai Lama once said:
"It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them."
