What's Your Water Footprint?

As we’ve seen over the last ten weeks, if we’re going to be serious about conserving water, that means we need to conserve everything! Reducing our water footprint means more than conserving water in our homes. That’s a great start! But we can do more by saving energy, shopping less, reusing what we’ve already got and recycling what we can’t reuse. By making small changes in our lifestyles, we can each play a big role in reducing not only our own, but America’s water footprint.

Ultra-low-flush toilets, which may cost from under $100 to over $300, depending on the type purchased, use only about 1.5 gallons of water per flush. That could cut your family's total indoor water use by as much as 20%.
