Stop Cold Water Waste While Waiting for a Hot Shower: Take Action Now!


Stop Cold Water Waste While Waiting for a Hot Shower: Take Action Now!
The Issue
Introduction: Have you ever found yourself twiddling your thumbs, watching loads of cold water go down the drain as you wait for the hot water to take shower? Feeling guilty? Well, I've got some fantastic news that can help us put an end to this massive wastage.
Why it Matters: Water is life, yet most people recklessly waste it every single day. Did you know that a single family wastes over 20,000 gallons of water a year? That's equivalent to draining out a full-size bathtub every single day. Millions around the world are struggling for just a sip of clean water. It's time to stop this wastage and start making a change! (According to the U.S. Department of Energy average US waste is 30 gallons per day or 11,000 annually. Nationally, that equates to nearly a trillion gallons per year)
The Solution: Enter water recirculation pumps! These pumps work like magic, delivering hot water to your shower almost instantly. It's so fast you won't even realize that you are wasting cold water and never feel guilty. It's like having your very own in-house, water-saving wizard.
The Petition: I firmly believe that every household in this great country of the United States must possess a water recirculating pump; it is my call, and I cannot do this alone. Kindly join me in making it a reality and support it in thousands. Together, we shall overcome and make every single drop count.
Tax Credits Incentive: Additionally, I propose that individuals who purchase and install water recirculation pumps should be eligible for tax credits, similar to the incentives provided for purchasing electric vehicles or installing solar panels. This would not only encourage more households to adopt this eco-friendly solution but also contribute to significant water conservation efforts nationwide. Water conservation is energy conservation. Every gallon of clean drinking water is equivalent to about 2.7kW-hrs, or $.30 of electricity. If every home could save 11,000 gallons that’s almost a 30,000kW-hrs reduction on the electrical grid per home. Source reduction also reduces the amount of CO2 emissions (Greenhouse Gas) created for the collection, treatment, distribution, re-collection, and wastewater treatment.
Why You Should Sign: By placing your signature on this petition, you're empowering me as the leader to be at the forefront in saving water, and hence, in another angle, saving our planet. Let's say NO to wasted water and make additional efforts to conserve it properly. Kindly sign this petition, and let's take the plunge, turning the tide on wasted water.

We believe that even small actions, like using water recirculation pumps, can create significant change.
Recirculation pumps are our secret weapon—they redirect cold water back to the hot water tank, preventing it from going down the drain while waiting for your shower to warm up. It's a simple yet effective solution that can save thousands of gallons of water annually!
