The 90-Day Plan: DAY 27

DAY 27

CHOOSE ENERGY STAR

Power plants across the country use 136 billion gallons of freshwater everyday

Compare that to 4 billion gallons for home use.

Saving energy ultimately saves water; encourage your family to invest in ENERGY STAR appliances before their next purchase.

By 2013, thirty-six states are anticipating water shortages at the local, regional, or statewide level.

Is your state???

Challenge: Conventional energy production uses a lot of water, desalination uses a lot of energy; essentially, it takes water to make water. Research why is desalination not currently cost-effective for most parts of the world and see for yourself why water reclamation a better option.
