Did you know that it takes 140 liters of water to produce one cup of coffee and almost 500 gallons to produce a pair of blue jeans? From over-flushing the toilet to taking long showers to washing laundry frequently, Americans are notorious for throwing water down the drain. Water conservation is increasingly becoming an important concern and, according to government statistics, 36 states are anticipating water shortages by 2013. On January 19th, Michael Costello, a water expert, can help viewers reduce their water footprints by turning everyday activities into water conserving strategies that can help save the environment and also save money. He can discuss what your city and its communities can do to conserve this valuable resource. He can talk about what businesses are doing to reduce their water footprints, the role of technology in providing a solution for cities and the challenges communities face with regard to scarcity, infrastructure and funding. Michael's helpful tips include how to cut consumption from installing water-saving toilets and showerheads to closing the tap while you brush your teeth. For example, a two-minute shower uses 4 – 12 gallons of water while a ten-minute shower can use up to 60 gallons! Available content includes soundbites and general views.
