A person can reduce their consumption of natural resources when drinking water by switching to reusable water bottles instead of using single-use plastic bottles. Additionally, using a water filter at home can reduce the need for bottled water.

This helps reduce the amount of plastic waste produced and also reduces the energy needed to manufacture and transport bottled water. Another way to reduce water waste is by being mindful of water usage at home, such as taking shorter showers, fixing leaks, and using water-efficient appliances. Conserving water not only helps save natural resources but also reduces water pollution and protects aquatic ecosystems.
