awesome video.. thumbs up to you... it is sad but a lot more than water gets consumed by the average us citizen at much greater than the world wide average... in peace & love & hugs.. amunra...
i used to try to get my mother to save water, recycle,dont smoke and it was like pulling teeth..she never did recyle she still smokes and she sometimes wastes water...i dont do none of that!
Thank you for being a voice of conservation reason. We should also try not to contaminate the waters that we have by not placing toxic wastes, substances down the drains, etc.
@FindTheBody Actually, the concept behind the running water sound (according to my niece) was to aggravate the listener and give them the desire to TURN off that faucet! Hopefully, that will translate off this site when they are hearing water run needlessly and they will have the desire to not waste. Perhaps the message is lost on some. (Oh, and we only ran it for a few seconds and re-played the audio over and over again.) So, no ''real'' harm done. ;)
That wasn't lost on me - I got the feeling. However, it aggravated me against YOU, not the cause, making me see you as a hypocrite and not a very trustworthy source. I'm not hating on you, it's definitely a message that needs to get out there and you've already done more than many - but that's a bit of constructive criticism that I felt the need to express.
@FindTheBody Hypocrite is an over used YT word and does not apply here. However, your constructive criticism is welcome here, as long as the intentions are to genuinely good and the language is clean.
This was some very good information. I had no idea only 2% of water is drinkable. Blake, you're always teaching me something new. I will be trying my best to not waste water. I've been doing a few of those steps you listed but, the shower/bath part is going to be kind of hard because (LOL) I LOVE taking long showers and baths. But, I'm going to definitely keep this in mind because it would frightening to run out of water. Also, I'm going to buy more water bottles (just in case). Thank you, Blake
@yvessaintlaurent88 Hm....buy more bottled water...? You may like to look at the following infographic, just google: "facts about bottled water". All the best.
- Bottled water is expensive. You’ll pay $1 to $2 for the average 16-ounce bottle. That’s between 240 and 10,000 times the cost of tap or filtered water
- Bottled water is hard on the environment. About 23% of plastic water bottles are recycled. This means that about 2 million tons of bottles end up in the trash every year. The production of the annual US demand for plastic bottles equals oil for 100,000 cars a year
- Bottled water isn’t necessarily purer than tap water.
@OneSummerSky......You're very educated on this topic. Thank you for informing me. I will have to definitely go out and purchase a water filter. Also, I need one for my shower because we have hard water in my city and I heard it was bad for natural hair.
Let's say your bath is a 50-gallon tub, and you have a 10 GPM (gallons per minute) shower head. Assuming you don't fill the tub to overflowing than your bath probably uses about 30 or 40 gallons of water. Compare that with a 10-minute shower, which would require 100 gallons.
But substituting a low-flow shower head really changes the equation. Running a low-flow head for 10-minutes would use just 20 gallons of water—less than even half of your bath.
@OneSummerSky I had to do the math there ( scratched my head a little), but that would be conserving. I know this sounds stupid, but to me, I just FEEL cleaner when I sit in the water. I know logically I am sitting in DIRTY water (as opposed to letting the dirty water run off me in a shower), but I prefer the soak. I must follow my own advice and shower.
The thing is though... I fully support what youre saying and agree, but really there is no way to run out of water. The water we use goes down the drain to where ever, evaporates and goes into the sky then comes back down as rain eventually, which turns into springs and etc.. still, we should conserve.
@rainonmebi 2) down the toilet, it is impossible to get all of their chemical compositions out when cleaning. Therefore, many city dwellers are medicated and are having complications, side affects, problems and are unaware that it is because their ''clean'' drinking water is actually contaminated.
i always keep my showers as short as possible. I get in there, wash up and get out. No point in wasting water and plus i feel nauseous if i stand in the hot water too long lol.
@rainonmebi Well, I have to admit, I am green and blue, with ONE exception. I STILL take baths. I am going to try to stop, but I just love the way the hot water feels. And, we CAN run out of FRESH water. The Earth has more water than land, but not FRESH water. When major cities recycle water, it is not as pure and clean as the water we can and do get from nature, which we are wasting and polluting. To drive my point home, I remember reading that when medications are flushed
@BlakeBarbieDoll I more recently have thought about going blue... ive been green for a few years now. I actually initiated my building into starting recycling.
True about not getting some of the water as clean again. As far as dirty water goes.... boy am I happy I live in NYC ^^) we have some of the cleanest drinking water in the world :D

@BlakeBarbieDoll Bathing uses *less* water compared to a non low-flow shower. Showering only pays off if you have a low-flow shower.
