Is your faucet leaking? Repair it immediately, either on your own or by hiring a plumbing professional. Besides that noisy, annoying drip, that faucet is wasting more water than you think.
A faucet with a slow drip can leak up 15 to 20 gallons of water per day. And for every day it drips, the leak can cost you more than $1 per day in water and sewage treatment charges. That's $400 per year for water you're not using!
Just a single repaired faucet could save enough water in one month to supply refreshments (water and Gatorade!) to quench the thirst of all the runners in the Mount Desert Island Marathon in Acadia National Park, Maine!
The source of many of the highly useful but unsustainable and potentially damaging products in our world today, this is any of a long list of chemicals derived from petroleum or natural gas. Many petrochemicals are used to produce plastics, synthetic rubbers, and synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic. They're also the basis of many detergents, dyes, inks, cosmetics, adhesives, fertilizers, pesticides, and other products encountered in daily life.
