Wasted Water

Developed countries, and most especially the United States, have seemingly mastered the art of making their citizens feel that there is no lack of anything (well, except for oil that is). But the truth of our dwindling resources is real, and it would do us all good to realize this, and also to be mindful of it.

Take water for instance. We turn on our faucets and think nothing of the endless flow that comes out. Many of us waste water by allowing the water to keep flowing even when we are not actively using it. This chart from Data360 gives you an idea of how much we consume as Americans compared to people in other nations. These numbers clearly show that Americans, and many other developed countries, are water wasters.
