Green Match recently dove into the massive issue of water waste, and let’s just say the numbers are shocking: globally, around 30% of treated water is lost, and a staggering 80% of wastewater isn’t treated at all. But the impact isn’t just environmental—it’s hitting our wallets and wasting energy too, costing billions every year.
But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom! The article also sheds light on some game-changing solutions, like smarter irrigation, recycling wastewater, and encouraging conservation efforts. These are key to cutting down water waste and protecting our ecosystems.
Here’s the quick rundown:
