Water Conservation

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that every individual must put forth the effort to do her part in conserving water so that there will always be enough for everyone on Earth. It attempts to show how, both positively and negatively, how an individual can make a difference not only on a personal level, but also at all levels from local to national to global.

From the Paper:

"The local level is the easiest to effect with individual water conservationist measures as well as having a greater impact on the national and global forums. The reason why is simple; at the local level the individual can participate with changes in daily activities and installing water conservation devices in the home. These changes will have a greater impact due to the lower numbers involved in the micro sphere of the local entity - be it a city or county. At the local level, individuals should be concerned with changing their habits within the areas drinking and cooking, bathing, toilet flushing, washing clothes and dishes, watering lawns and gardens, maintaining swimming pools and car washing (EPA, 1995).
