Water Wise
Products that allow you to conserve and protect our most precious of natural resources.
Water is our most precious natural resource. It is the source of all life and the mediator of all natural processes on Earth. And yet excessive water use is probably one of the most overlooked environmental issues. Can you believe that over 40% of the drinking water that is used in our homes is flushed down the toilet? Another 30% goes down the drains of our sinks and showers. If we take a closer look at our regular water use, we see that there are plenty of simple ways to incorporate water saving strategies into our everyday lives.
Ever heard of urban runoff? It is one major reason that pollutants and sediments end up in our water supply and is one of the leading causes of impairment in rivers, lakes, and estuaries. Greenmaker offers innovative products that help minimize runoff.
It has been estimated that if all U.S. homes installed water saving fixtures, water use would decrease by 30%, saving approximately 5.4 billion gallons of water per day. What are water saving fixtures, you ask? At Greenmaker we can show you all manner of products designed to help you reduce your water use while not sacrificing the comfort and ease to which you have grown accustomed. Maybe you’d like to add a dual-flush toilet to your bathroom or replace your walkway or driveway with permeable pavers. We’d love to hear your ideas and offer our assistance.
