Fresh water is a critical resource. We all use water...and we all can save water.
Some areas are more affected by fresh water shortages than others -- those in arid communities (like southern California) and those whose local water infrastructure is crumbling or inadequate. The issue is bigger than those immediate needs, however. Climate change is affecting our fresh water distribution patterns...and quantities. We all can help...starting with conservation.
Replace your toilet with a new low-flow model and cut your water use in half. The toilet is the single largest user of water in the home, accounting for up to 28 percent of water use. Replacing an old toilet with a new model will instantly save water and money -- up to $50 a year. For shopping advice, read "5 Tips for Choosing a Low-Flow Toilet."
