When you save water, you are helping save energy, the environment and you are also helping others. Do you want to take part in saving energy, helping the environment, and helping others?
When you pump water from lakes and reservoirs, treat it to make it safe to drink, also when you pump it into homes and businesses that all take up energy. According to Environmental Defense Fund “Every year, the U.S. thermoelectric industry uses 3.3billion gallons of water. That’s 20 percent of all the water used in the country, excluding agriculture. This number is projected to double to 7.3 billion by 2030. So, if we save water instead of wasting it then we will reduce the amount of energy because it uses up energy when you pump treat and pump water into homes. To sum up, when you save water, you are saving energy because it uses energy to pump and treat water.
People who save water are helping the planet, I know that’s surprising, right? When families save water, they are helping them, by reducing greenhouse gases. It takes a lot of energy to pump, treat, and heat water, so saving all this energy will help reduce greenhouse gases. According to the EPA “Three percent of the nation’s energy is used to pump and treat water”, so conserving water conserves energy that reduces greenhouse gas pollution. All human beings on earth need water to survive, and, in fact, all living things need water to survive. And if we waste water, not everyone will get the water they need. 70 percent of the world is water and 0.03 percent of that is freshwater that we can use and drink. We use water for different kinds of things like making food, cleaning, eating, drinking and much more. When you save water, you are helping the environment because 3% of the nations energy is used to pump and treat water. Conserving Energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
When you waste water, you should think about how many people don’t get opportunities to get clean and fresh water, is this you? According to United Nation 39% of the world’s population lives without water, and 17 percent of the world does not have proper access to fresh and clean water. Also, according to the United Nations “Water is at the core of sustainable development and is critical for socio-economic development, energy and food production, healthy ecosystems and for human survival itself. People need water to survive, for example when you are working on a farm you need water for the plants, and when you take a shower, wash your hands, and much more. Like the EPA said water is the core of healthy ecosystems and critical for socio-economic development. So, when you save water at home you are helping so many people and lives you also take part in making the world a better place because you are also saving the environment.
So, in conclusion when you save water you are helping the environment, saving energy, and saving lives. If you get into a routine of doing these things, then you will take part in a bigger action of saving the world by saving water.
