Water conservation is an important topic for all of us. Even if you don't live in an area subject to freshwater shortages, billions of other people around the world do. Freshwater is one of our most precious and also our most wasted resources. Approximately 1.2 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water. Can you imagine if you came home at the end of the day and had no water to prepare dinner, take a shower, brush your teeth, or prepare a bottle for the baby? This is what much of the developing world deals with on a daily basis. And the problem grows worse as the world's population increases.
