What makes the world go round?
On an earth that supports a population of 7 billion (and counting), conserving the natural resources that allow us to thrive has become a hot topic of conversation. In recent years, environmental efforts have taken center stage, as people begin to invest their interests and seek out education on how to conserve our most precious materials. And one of the biggest resources to steal the spotlight? Water.
Conserving water is, no doubt, an ideal that we hear tossed around quite often…but what does that actually mean and how do you really achieve it? After all, isn’t 71% of the earth’s surface covered in water?
While that might be true, water and freshwater are two very different things. In fact, it is believed that less than 2% of water is freshwater—a tiny fraction of the available water source. And, as the world turns its attention to big issues facing our environment, how to preserve water on an earth that is constantly using is an important question to ask.
So, what can YOU—one person—do to help? Well, a great deal more than you might think. If you are eager to learn more about how you can help save our clean, life-sustaining water supply, plus the best practices to support innovative gray water efforts, keep scrolling:
Water is the foundation of all life. It sounds simple, but this fact is what makes water conservation so vital. Animals, plants, humans, and food would all be non-existent without this precious resource that hydrates and nourishes our world. When you’re standing at the ocean’s edge, it is easy to understand why people think water is an infinite resource. However, nearly 99% of water on the earth cannot be used by humans and living organisms. That’s why it’s important to save water, minimize pollution and optimize gray water efforts.
While it’s generally considered that water runoff from the sink, dishwasher, shower and washing machine can be reused as gray water, this isn’t necessarily true.
It’s important to understand that if your household cleaning products are formulated with any controversial ingredients, the runoff from the water could contain residual chemicals that are unsafe for reuse—potentially contaminating our waterways and posing harm to sea life. Shopping for gray water-safe household products helps eliminate this problem and ensures water is not contaminated with harmful compounds.
If gray water has not been contaminated, it can then be recycled and reused for things like watering plants, vegetables and the lawn. Nearly an estimated 60% of the water used in the home can potentially be recycled as gray water, which leaves numerous opportunities for reuse so long as biodegradable and gray water safe products are used in your household.
This is another huge reason why Modere puts such emphasis on our Live Clean Philosophy. Our clean products are mindfully formulated to support gray water efforts so that, together, we can educate, prioritize and conserve our freshwater supply while practicing tips and tricks to minimize water waste.
Even if you’re putting in your best effort to help conserve water, the everyday products being used in your home can still cause harm to the water supply. That is why it is so important to shop products that are clean label and gray water safe to help support gray water efforts and protect your family from controversial chemicals.
Lucky for you, Modere has developed a complete line of high-performing products that are clean alternatives to household essentials your family uses daily. All our household products are clean, biodegradable, gray water safe and backed by science.
