HAPPY EARTH DAY! 🌎Solid Waste & Recycling is highlighting water stewardship as a featured Earth Day focus. DID YOU KNOW 70% of Earth is covered by water, yet nearly 97% is saltwater? 🌊

❓How Much Water Do We Use?
43.6 gallons per day for one person
118.9 gallons per day for a family of three
18,492 gallons per year for a typical family

🔍Simple Ways To Reduce Water Waste
Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. This can waste up to 1.59 gal/min.
Bathrooms use nearly 70% of household water.
Take shorter showers. They use less water than a full bath.
Use a rain barrel. Collecting rainwater can help reduce runoff and save water at home.
