Water
- Water table and aquifers being depleted
- Runoff from chemical intensive farming
- Greywater and sewage treatment residues contribute to runoff
- Dishwashers may use less water and gas/electric than hand-washing
- Keep faucets only as high as necessary
- No need to use long hot cycles for clothes
- Conserve, use low flow devices, greywater reuse if feasible, especially for gardeners
- Use ornamentals and grasses that don't require watering in your area
- Paper and other manufacturing processes also take loads of water, so reduce, reuse, recycle
