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. |
