Question

How much energy does it take to deliver and treat the water used in America every year? How many tons of greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced each year by 1 out of 100 Americans changing their water fixtures to water efficient ones?

Answer 1

It takes 56 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy to deliver and treat the water used in America every year. If each year 1 out of 100 Americans changed their water fixtures to water efficient one we would avoid 80,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
