1) Save Water, Save Money
-With utility prices rising and the ongoing recession, do yourself a favor and reduce your water consumption. Your wallet will thank you.
-Yes, we know, water as a limited resource is a strange concept to many Americans. It would be like McDonald's running out of Big Mac's. But water will run out some day if we don't start conserving. Although 97% of the earth's surface is water, only 1% of that is fresh, usable water. We will run out and it is important to conserve this precious resource.
3) Developing New Water Supplies and Building New Treatment Facilities is Expensive.
-Guess who pays for it? Thats right, YOU, the taxpayer!
4) Green House Gas Emissions
-When you use energy to heat water, you are contributing carbon dioxide emissions as a result of the combustion of natural gas. In sum, don't piss off Al Gore!
5) The Resale Value of Your Home
-If you were an Atlanta citizen during the most recent drought, you know that watering your lawn is a luxury. If this was a permanent situation, our lawns would be ruined. Lawns and landscaping is a major factor in the re-sale value of your home. Preserve your homes value!
6) Limits the Occurrence of Future Conflicts
-If the water-crisis becomes worldwide, conflicts would ensue between countries over this valuable resource.
7) Help the Aquatic Environment
-Conserving water will help protect birds, fish and other wildlife that depend on water
8) Water = Life. Let's protect it
9) Save on Your Energy Bill.
The less energy used heating water, the cheaper your power bill will be.
10) Reduce Pollution
By reducing water use, less toxins from detergents and other soaps enter the water stream. I don't know about you, but I like drinking clean water.
What are you doing to conserve water? Or is all of this a big hoax?
