Water is the substance of life on this planet; 80% of the Earth's surface is water, and less than 1% is available and potable. It is 70% of our body weight. It is the principal substance that runs through our veins. To be stewards of this precious resource requires that we use it carefully. Unfortunately, we are not doing this. Our wasteful practices and the pollution of our groundwater are deteriorating the available supplies.
At a personal level, reducing water use will lower your water and sewer bills, or if you have a well, it will lower your utility bills, since electricity is required to pump and heat the water. Stewarding our precious and finite supply of water is an essential part of living an environmentally sustainable lifestyle. - Adapted from the Green Living Handbook |
