Check out this presentation that explains "Do we really need bottled water?" What if I told you that bottled water cost more than twice the price of the gas that you put in your car. How about 1500 bottles going into the trash every second of the day. All this and more in this presentation.
Outdoor water use accounts for a large portion of summer water consumption. Planting native drought-tolerant plants that don't require summer watering can reduce water use. For those with lawns, reducing size, allowing browning in summer, and proper watering techniques like watering in the evening can help conserve water. Car washing at commercial facilities that recycle water is better than using a hose. Indoor water use can also be reduced through low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, front-loading washing machines, and low-flow toilets. Food production, especially beef, requires enormous water use, as do many purchased goods like cotton clothing and electronics.
Cincinnati tap water is tested more often than bottled water and contains less harmful components. Bottled water costs significantly more than tap water but provides no advantages in terms of safety or quality. While bottled water companies market the product as premium, the environmental and economic costs of bottled water are substantial and tap water is a safer and more sustainable option.
Smart2o researches water solutions and provides customized systems to purify water for homes and offices. They advocate for health, savings, and the environment. Bottled water poses risks from chemicals in plastic and from potential contaminants, while most tap water meets regulations. Smart2o water systems offer purified water that is healthier, cheaper, and more eco-friendly than bottled water alternatives.

How to Reduce Plastic Waste at School: School the Bottle
Slideshow Marketing by Michael Hulleman of Copyrise.com
Banning bottles on school premises is not enough; We believe better results in eliminating plastic waste can be achieved through education, community values, and implementing water bottle filling stations in every school in North America. Healthy choices begin at school.
Make a pledge to only consume water from sustainable and environmentally friendly, sanitary reusable water bottles and water bottle filling stations. No more single use water bottles. Look around you. Do you think the companies behind single-use bottles deserve to have their products in existence for over a hundred years? Is that fair?

City of Salina Quiz-It's Time to Test Your Water SenseCity of Salina
The document is a quiz about water usage and conservation called "It's Time to Test Your WaterSense!". It contains 12 multiple choice questions about topics like average household water usage, water availability, water saving habits, and water efficient appliances. An answer key provides the correct responses and scoring information to determine if you have basic, expert, or genius-level knowledge of water conservation as a "WaterSense". Getting 9 or more questions right means you're a "WaterSense genius" with a strong understanding of water efficiency.
Americans consume about 4 billion gallons of bottled water per year, equal to one 8-ounce bottle per person daily. However, bottled water has significant environmental costs to produce and transport the plastic bottles. It takes three to five times more water to produce a plastic water bottle than it contains, and the manufacturing process uses oil equivalent to fueling over 100,000 cars annually. Most bottled water is simply filtered local tap water, but plastic bottles may leach chemicals into the water when heated. Less than a quarter of plastic bottles are recycled, and the rest pile up as trash that takes over 1000 years to degrade.

Deakin University installed water refill stations and drinking fountains across its three campuses as part of its goal to become a sustainable "Green Star - Education v1" enterprise. The water units were chosen after accessibility research and meet the university's needs. Thirteen units were installed and have helped encourage students and staff to refill water bottles instead of purchasing plastic water bottles, reducing waste.
This document summarizes the bottled water industry in the US. It discusses how consumers view bottled water as a new alternative to other drinks. It also discusses how the US became the leading consumer of bottled water in 2005, accounting for 17.4% of global consumption. However, environmental groups argue that the bottled water industry is unsustainable and is lowering groundwater levels. They also believe the health and source claims made by bottled water companies are misleading. The document outlines the practices of major bottled water companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Nestle to reduce their environmental impact. It also discusses how social activists are campaigning against the bottled water industry due to the waste created and potential health
The document discusses issues with California's water allocation system and proposes reforms. The "use-it-or-lose-it" rule forces farmers to use their entire water allotment or risk losing it, leading to waste. Similarly, the "160-acre" rule limiting farm size is easily circumvented by large farms. The document proposes capping water transfers based on historical use and allowing trading of permits to encourage efficiency and control water allocation better meet demand, especially during droughts. Revising these rules could empower small farmers and allocate water more sustainably.

A Nationwide Problem: Americans Waste 1 Trillion Gallons of Water a YearFrank_Carter
Water, according to The Economist, is the world’s most valuable element. Diamonds, oil, and other expensive commodities on Earth are worth nothing in the absence of water. This resource is essential for sustaining life, and even though mostly unpriced, has no substitute.
Did you know? Last year, the average American used 167 plastic water bottles, but only recycled 38. Get more facts about bottled water in this handy graphic.
The document summarizes the results of a water usage survey conducted by students at the Koç School. The survey aimed to determine students' water usage habits, awareness of water conservation, and daily water use patterns. It found that most students are concerned with efficient water use but some lack awareness of proper conservation. Personal hygiene was the main reason taps were opened. The survey highlights opportunities to further educate students on sustainable water practices.
Water Efficient Demonstration Gardens - Willamette Valley, OregonFrida85y
The document summarizes several water efficient demonstration gardens in the Willamette Valley region of Oregon. It describes gardens at Clackamas Community College, Metro's Natural Techniques Garden in Portland, the Oregon Garden in Silverton, and Tualatin Valley Water District's garden in Beaverton. Each garden features drought tolerant plants and irrigation techniques with the goal of educating visitors on water efficient landscaping options through self-guided tours and workshops.
Americans purchase 29 billion plastic water bottles per year that take centuries to decompose. 75% of empty bottles end up polluting oceans, lakes, and streams. Not only are plastic bottles bad for the environment, but the water contains contaminants - about 22% of bottled water contains contaminants similar to tap water. The document recommends drinking filtered water as the best option, as water filters remove contaminants without polluting the environment like disposable plastic water bottles.
You Can Bank on It: Utilizing private water banks to mitigate groundwater dev...Lotc Water Marketing
My presentation from the AWRA 2009 conference in Seattle, WA. Provides a summary of my vision for utilizing small private water banks to offset our growing demand for groundwater resources.
Water scarcity is caused by a lack of available drinking water due to factors like global warming, lack of rain, overpopulation, pollution, and overconsumption by humans. Individuals can help by using more efficient irrigation techniques, rainwater harvesting, and conserving water in daily activities. Governments can address water scarcity by treating and recycling wastewater, upgrading water supply systems to reduce losses, and educating people about water conservation.
The document discusses water conservation and efficient fixtures. It provides statistics on water usage in the United States from various fixtures like toilets, faucets, and showerheads. Replacing older, inefficient fixtures with WaterSense labeled products can save significant amounts of water and money both for individual homes and on a national scale. For example, replacing all old toilets could save over 500 billion gallons per year in the US. The document also discusses green building certification programs like WaterSense and LEED that promote water efficient technologies and reviews the relatively low market penetration of WaterSense products to date.
The document discusses the negative impacts of bottled water on the environment, health, and finances. It notes that bottled water production uses vast amounts of plastic and fossil fuels, contributing to pollution and climate change. Studies have also found associations between BPA in bottled water and increased risks of heart disease and diabetes. Canadians spend over $15 billion annually on bottled water that is often no safer than tap water. The document recommends using water filtration systems instead of bottled water to avoid these issues and protect the environment and personal health.
This document discusses the environmental impacts of bottled water usage versus tap water. It notes that over 1 billion people lack access to clean drinking water currently, and by 2025 two-thirds of the world's population may lack access due to factors like global warming. While bottled water is popular, it has significant environmental costs to produce and transport the plastic bottles. The document provides arguments for why tap water is generally safe to drink in most areas and offers 5 reasons for breaking the bottled water habit, such as the high costs and oil usage required for bottled water production. It encourages adopting reusable water bottles and simple filtration systems as more sustainable alternatives.
According to the U.S. EPA, bottled water is not always safer than tap water. Learn more about how you can protect yourself from harmful water contaminants through reverse osmosis water filtration.
Water Efficiency Practices for Domestic Indoor Water Use - New HampshireFrida85y
The document provides information on indoor water efficiency practices that can save up to 25,000 gallons of water per person per year. It lists practices for general water use as well as specific practices for the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry. Some key practices include installing low-flow fixtures, fixing leaks, running full loads for dishwashers and washing machines, and avoiding unnecessary flushing. Adopting these practices can help conserve potable water supplies and reduce wastewater.
The US bottled water industry has grown significantly due to aggressive marketing portraying bottled water as safer and purer than tap water. However, bottled water production places strain on water resources and contributes to environmental issues. Extraction of groundwater for bottling has lowered water tables and harmed local communities that rely on water. Transportation and disposal of bottles also wastes oil resources and adds to municipal solid waste. Stricter oversight is needed to ensure bottlers accurately disclose water sources and consumers have access to information about bottled water contents.
Outdoor water use accounts for a large portion of summer water consumption. Planting native drought-tolerant plants that don't require summer watering can reduce water use. For those with lawns, reducing size, allowing browning in summer, and proper watering techniques like watering in the evening can help conserve water. Car washing at commercial facilities that recycle water is better than using a hose. Indoor water use can also be reduced through low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, front-loading washing machines, and low-flow toilets. Food production, especially beef, requires enormous water use, as do many purchased goods like cotton clothing and electronics.
The document discusses bottled water and its environmental impacts. It notes that bottled water production uses significant amounts of oil and plastic and generates greenhouse gas emissions during manufacturing and transportation. Recycling rates for plastic water bottles are low, resulting in millions of bottles being disposed of in landfills each year. The document recommends choosing tap water over bottled water or purchasing locally bottled water to reduce environmental impacts.
