Blue is the New Green: 3 Water Conservation Sites You Wanna Check Out!


by Vicki Zambito

According to the EPA at least 36 states will face water shortages by 2013, which means the need to conserve water is becoming more and more critical. Everyone in the design and construction industry—as well as consumers—should take steps to reduce water consumption and increase sustainability. Below are three websites devoted to helping you learn how to save water.

WaterUseItWisely.com has a list of 100 ways to conserve water. And it deserves to be said that each way begins with you! The site also has a cool widget you can add to your own website. The Conservation Tip Widget displays a new tip each day of the month, so your site visitors can keep up with ways to save water.

Kohler’s Save Water America website is presented through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity. The site includes a list of water-saving resources, a 90-second quiz to see how water smart you are, and an interactive map of the U.S. It also keeps a running count of all Kohler’s water-saving product donations to Habitat for Humanity.
