Outdoor water use accounts for a large portion of summer water consumption. Planting native drought-tolerant plants that don't require summer watering can reduce water use. For those with lawns, reducing size, allowing browning in summer, and proper watering techniques like watering in the evening can help conserve water. Car washing at commercial facilities that recycle water is better than using a hose. Indoor water use can also be reduced through low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, front-loading washing machines, and low-flow toilets. Food production, especially beef, requires enormous water use, as do many purchased goods like cotton clothing and electronics.

Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen molecules and exists in solid, liquid, and gas forms on Earth. Most of the planet's water is located in oceans, while the rest is found in lakes, rivers, ice caps, clouds, underground aquifers, and sea ice. Humans need water for many functions like carrying nutrients, lubricating joints, cooling the body, and uses in industry and agriculture. While people generally need 6-8 glasses of water per day, athletes and those who are ill may need more. Water shortages can occur when demand exceeds supply, and conservation is important since less than 1% of the world's water is available for human use.World water day

The document discusses the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste) and its environmental impacts. It notes that e-waste contains valuable but also harmful materials, and that the life span of electronics is decreasing due to advances in technology, leading to more e-waste. The e-waste is polluting due to toxic heavy metals in components and improper disposal practices, especially in developing countries where e-waste is often dumped. Proper e-waste management through reducing waste, reusing electronics, and responsible recycling is needed to limit environmental degradation and health impacts from this waste stream.Recyle the E-waste-T

The document discusses the 3 immutable laws and best practices of e-waste management: 1) Responsible management requires a comprehensive audit trail, as even inert materials can be hazardous; 2) De-manufacturing should be a last resort, and environmental responsibility extends to final disposition; 3) Highest use is best use, as working units provide greatest benefit if reused. It also outlines the 5 essential e-waste best practices of centralizing, sanitizing, optimizing value, scrutinizing disposition, and analyzing audit trails.green tea

The document discusses the origins and history of green tea. It originated in Southeast Asia and was first used medicinally in China in 2737 BC. It was later used as currency and demand grew as farmers began cultivating it. By the 1850s, England was consuming over 80 million pounds annually. Green tea is grown on plantations in climates with heavy rainfall and elevations between 3,000-7,000 feet. The active compounds in green tea are polyphenols called catechins that may provide health benefits such as cancer prevention and weight loss. Current studies show green tea may help reduce body fat and LDL cholesterol.organic community garden suggestion

Air pollution negatively impacts health, biking more can help reduce emissions. Choosing to bike instead of driving for some trips lowers air pollution and benefits both health and environment. Making biking a regular option for transportation where possible cuts down on pollutants and improves individual and community wellness.

The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization set a goal in 1996 to halve the number of hungry people in the world by 2015. There are currently 842 million hungry people globally, with the majority living in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Agriculture is the backbone of the economy for 75% of hungry populations. Providing farmers with access to training, markets, fertilizer, and improved seeds would be more effective and cheaper than sending food aid. While some food aid will still be needed for disasters, wars, and droughts, supporting agriculture can help communities produce their own food to feed themselves and sell surplus.T-recylce the E-waste

Case studies showed how employers were able to create additional parking, increase productivity, and improve recruitment and retention by participating in these programs.new
- 1. 10 TIPS TO SAVE WATER, MONEY AND RIVERS Outdoor Water Use Did you know that many homes consume 2 - 6 times as much water in a summer month as in a winter month? Summer is also a time when our rivers and fish need the water. 1. PLANTS IN THE YARD: Water hungry yards are not river friendly!!! Instead of having a lawn or other water hungry landscaping, plant some of the beautiful Northwest native and drought tolerant plants that do not require summer watering once established. 2. IF YOU MUST HAVE A LAWN: Consider reducing the size of the lawn, or letting it go brown during the summer. If you choose to continue to water your lawn: make sure you study up on the actual amount of water needed (about ¾ - 1 inch/week); do not over-water; do not water sidewalks or streets with ill-aimed sprinklers; and cut the lawn high (3 inches or so) to reduce the need to for water. Also, water in the evening to reduce evaporation of the water you apply. 3. CAR WASHING: Instead of washing your car with a hose, go to a commercial car wash that recycles water. In the Metro area, these include: Washman, Kaddy Carwash, ECO Car Wash and others. Using a car wash also eliminates the discharge to rivers of surfactants in soaps used in car washing. These surfactants can remove the slime that protects fish and their gills, in some cases killing the fish. 4. DON’T USE THE HOSE TO CLEAN OFF DRIVEWAYS AND PATIOS: Don’t use precious water to clean off driveways or patios - especially in the dryer months! A simple broom is the much better choice. Indoor Water Use 5. THE SHOWER: Replace your showerhead with an ultra-low-flow showerhead. These low cost devices can save a lot of water – check with your water provider to see if it has a give-away program, or buy one at low cost at the hardware or home improvement store. 6. HOUSEHOLD FAUCETS: Make sure all of your faucets have low flow aerators. These are very inexpensive (about $2), often available for free from your water provider, very easy to install, and they save significant amounts of water each time you turn on the faucet. 7. WASHING MACHINE: Only run the washing machine if you have a full machine. When replacing a washing machine or other water using appliance, consider a high-efficiency appliance. Front loading washing machines save a lot of water (and electricity) and many electric companies, the Energy Trust, and water providers offer rebates in addition to the tax credit offered by the State of Oregon. 8. Buy a low flow toilet. Ask your water provider if they have a rebate program. Or, add a plastic milk jug or plastic bottle filled with water to the tank of your existing toilet. Food and Purchased Goods 9. FOOD: Most of the food we buy at the grocery store requires an enormous amount of water to produce. For example, a pound of beef can take 2500 gallons of water to produce. In the United States, up to 30% of food is wasted, which equals approximately 10 trillion gallons of water wasted (Stockholm International Water Institute). That is enough to cover the state of Connecticut 10 feet deep! 10. PURCHASED GOODS: Did you know that it takes 1,800 gallons of water to produce the cotton for one pair of jeans? Electronics and other products also require lots of water to produce. An average computer with a CRT monitor takes 396 gallons of water to produce (United Nations). Make water consumption one of the factors you consider before purchasing goods.
