EPA's We're For Water Campaign

Has the EPA started a reality TV show for saving water?  Well almost.  On July 14th, the Environmental Protection Agency started a water education campaign to aid in the water conservation efforts. Grabbing the publics interest, by putting four families against each other in a game to see who can save the most water.

The "We're for Water Campaign"  started in Los Angeles with two families that will travel across the country to New York where two different families will make the same week long trip across the country back to Los Angeles.  The families will stop in various cities across the country showing the public water saving techniques like fixing a leaking toilet and how to save the most water while shaving in the sink.

Being summertime, the Environmental Protection Agency thought it was a good time to show people how to save water.  Saving water is no laughing matter. The EPA has stated that between 1950 and 2000, the U.S. population has almost doubled, but that water use has more than tripled.  Peter Silva, assistant administrator at the EPA's Office of Water says "Whether by replacing an old, inefficient plumbing fixture with a WaterSense labeled product or adopting more water efficient behaviors, together we can help save water for future generations."
