4. a. Read the facts and actions. Match them, e.g. F1– A4.

Fact 1: 75% of the human brain is water and 75% of a living tree is water. Water makes up between 55–78% of a human’s body weight.

Fact 2: There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank. Nevertheless, today there are many more people using the same amount of water than 100 years ago.

Fact 3: Water is part of a deeply interconnected system. What we pour or dump on the ground ends up in our water – so garbage and waste can contaminate the sources of our drinking water.

Fact 4: A dripping faucet (water tap) can waste up to 2,000 gallons / 7,600 litres of water a year. A leaky (running) toilet can waste as much as 200 gallons / 760 litres of water a day. At 1 drip per second, a faucet can leak 3,000 gallons per year.

Fact 5: Lawn and garden herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers can contaminate the water.

Fact 6: Having a bath requires up to 70 gallons of water. A five-minute shower uses only 10 to 25 gallons.

Fact 7: Americans use more water each day by flushing the toilet than they do by showering or any other activity.

Fact 8: The average faucet flows at a rate of 2 gallons per minute.

Fact 9: In one year, the average American residence uses over 100,000 gallons (indoors and outside). On average, 50%–70% of household water is used outdoors for watering lawns and gardens.

Action 1: Check your pipes and repair any leaks as soon as possible.

Action 2: Reduce your use of herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers and look for safer alternatives to control weeds and bugs. For example, geraniums repel Japanese beetles; garlic and mint repel aphids; and marigolds repel whiteflies.

Action 3: Don’t waste water. Use it wisely and cut back wherever you can.

Action 4: Drink your recommended 8 glasses of water per day.

Action 5: Take used motor oil and other automobile fluids (жидкости / вадкасці) to an automobile service centre that recycles them. Take leftover paint, batteries, solvents (растворители / растваральнікі) and toxic household products to special collection centres.

Action 6: Make the most of the water you use outdoors by never watering at the hottest times of the day or when it’s windy. Plant low-water use grasses and shrubs to reduce your lawn watering by 20% –50% .
