Describe how a person can reduce consumption of natural resources when drinking water. Assume that there is no change in the amount of water consumed and that the change is only in the way water is produced. Answer in three to five sentences.
One way to reduce consumption of natural resources when drinking water is by switching to a reusable water bottle instead of purchasing disposable plastic bottles. This reduces the amount of plastic waste generated and the resources required to produce and transport plastic bottles. Additionally, using a water filter at home rather than purchasing bottled water can also save resources as it eliminates the need for packaging and transportation of water. Finally, being mindful of the water usage at home by turning off the tap while brushing teeth or using a water-efficient dishwasher can further reduce the overall consumption of natural resources.
