Pureez asks: What does it take for Water to be Environmental?

Pureez asks: What does it take for water to be environmental?


Environmental Water...hmm. What makes waterenvironmental”? Well, for this I think we first need to look at environmentalism, and then at how water, water consumption, and finally, water services, factor into this.

Environmentalism: it ain’t easy being Green:

As always, I turn to Wikipedia, which has this to say about environmentalism and the environmentalist movement:

In general terms, environmentalists advocate the sustainable management of resources, and the protection (and restoration, when necessary) of the natural environment through changes in public policy and individual behavior. In its recognition of humanity as a participant in ecosystems, the movement is centered around ecology, health, and human rights.

As you can see, it’s about minimizing one’s impact on the earth and its natural resources. So being eco-friendly with your use of various waters or water services is not necessarily about consuming less or even destructing less. Instead, Eco-Friendly Water is really about the net impact of every action. Cumulatively, then, let’s look at water consumption. Tomorrow, that is!
