Lowering Your Laundry Water Costs
Why Water Costs are Rising
We are committed to providing cost effective, innovative water filtration and reclamation solutions to preserve the earth's precious resource.
Consider these life changing facts:
- The United Nations warns that more
than 2.7 billion people will not have adequate safe drinking
water by the year 2O25 if we continue to consume water at
today's rates.
- According to the World Bank, fresh
water will become the natural resource most likely to cause
wars in the 21st century.
- Only 1% of the Earth's surface
is suitable for drinking water - and this is increasingly
at risk from pollution. The rest is undrinkable salt water
(97%) and glacier ice (2%).
- If the entire world's water were
represented by a 1-gallon bottle, the amount that could
be drunk safely would equal one tablespoon.
- The average household uses 250,000
gallons of water each year.
- The E.P.A. estimates 180 billion
gallons of water are used by hotels each year.
- It takes 40,000 gallons to make
one car.
- It takes 50,000 gallons to make
rayon for a living room carpet.
- It takes 1,000 gallons of water
to grow 1 pound of food.
- The largest laundry operation is
in Las Vegas - 234 million pounds processed each year using
one-half billion gallons.
Our Earth's water
resources are rapidly diminishing, and we must all take responsibility
to conserve these precious resources for adequate drinking
water. |
May the earth continue to live
May the heavens above continue to live
May the rains continue to dampen the land
May the wet forests continue to grow
Then the flowers shall bloom
And we people shall live again
- Hawaiian Prayer
