There is a close connection, or nexus, between energy and water. It takes a significant amount of water to create energy. Energy is also used in great quantities during the supply and treatment of waste water.
For the year 2011 in the United States electricity from fossil fuels and nuclear energy required 190 billion gallons of water a day accounting for 39% of all the freshwater withdrawals while 4% off all power generation was used for water supply and treatment.
Water and energy problems are connected to each other in such a way that, in spite of some partial and short-term success, partial responses are bound to fail in the long-term.
Water and energy policy, planning and management must be integrated to encourage conservation, motivate innovation and ensure sustainable use of water and energy.
Hear about how interconnection of water and energy and how these two resources will be intertwined forever.

5. The amount of paper recovered for recycling averaged 340 pounds for every person in the U.S.
In 2009, a record-high 63.4 percent of the paper consumed in the U.S. was recovered for
recycling. It was the first time the number was over 60 percent
Every ton of paper recycled saves more than 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space
By 2013, the paper industry’s goal is to recover 60 percent of all the paper Americans consume
for recycling, which is approximately 60 million tons of paper
One million tons of recovered paper is enough to fill more than 14,000 railroad cars

to steam
In 1513, while searching for the fountain of youth, the Spanish conquistador Ponce de Léon
discovered Florida.
Water covers about 70 percent of the earth's surface in the oceans, lakes, rivers, and glaciers
Ninety-seven percent of the water on the planet is in the form of salt water. Only 3 percent is
fresh, and two-thirds of that is ice
The United States uses three times as much water a day as the average European country, and
many, many times more water than most developing nations
When cooled to its freezing temperature (0°C., 32°F., under standard pressure), water changes
to a colorless, crystalline solid (ice)
Water's composition by weight is one part of hydrogen to eight of oxygen (or 11.1 percent of
hydrogen and about 88.9 percent of oxygen)

Butterflies and insects have their skeletons on the outside of their bodies, called the
exoskeleton. This protects the insect and keeps water inside their bodies so they don’t dry out

European Settlements Impact Forest Area
Growth of the very earliest European settlers in North America initiated large land clearing
efforts which had a great impact on forest acreage - especially in the new colonies
The 1850 Timber Depletion
The 1850's faced a major boom in cutting trees for lumber but still used as much wood for
energy and fences as ever. This depletion of the forest continued until 1900 at which time the
United States had fewer forests than ever before and less than we have today

In many cultures, ladybugs are considered good luck. Most people like them because they are
pretty, graceful, and harmless to humans. But farmers love them because they eat aphids and
other plant-eating pests. One ladybug can eat up to 5,000 insects in its lifetime!
The name "ladybug" was coined by European farmers who prayed to the Virgin Mary when
pests began eating their crops. After ladybugs came and wiped out the invading insects, the
farmers named them "beetle of Our Lady." This eventually was shortened to "ladybug”
A ladybug in flight beats its wings up to 85 times per second
In 1999, NASA sent ladybugs and aphids up in the space shuttle to test their movements in

world's ice (and 70 percent of its fresh water)
Antarctica is covered with ice an average of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet) thick. If all of the
Antarctic ice melted, sea levels around the world would rise about 61 meters (200 feet)
The average temperature in Antarctica is -37°C, so the ice there is in no danger of melting
At the other end of the world, the North Pole ice is not nearly as thick as at the South Pole
In 1995 the Intergovernmental Agency issued a report which contained various projections of
the sea level change by the year 2100. They estimate that the sea will rise 50 centimeters with
the lowest estimates at 15 centimeters (6 inches) and the highest at 95 centimeters (37 inches)
Ice caps are also called ice sheets or continental glaciers. They are composed of ice domes, ice
lobes, and outlet glaciers and are surrounded by cold, ocean currents. As a result, the land is
constantly being cooled. & the thickest parts of the ice cap is 2 miles below sea level
