Wasting Water While We Brush!

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Have you ever thought about how much water is wasted while we brush our teeth? Just take a moment and give this some serious consideration. Water truly is one of our most precious natural resources. It requires local municipalities to constantly be maintaining and upgrading their water purification systems. And it is just getting plain more expensive, according to the Environmental Protection Agency the average water bill for a U.S. household is approximately 0.5 of a households income.

My wife and daughter are constantly reminding me to turn off the water while brushing my teeth! Now the dental industry is answering the call with a “waterless” toothbrush which will be released this fall by according to Todd Spinelli of United Treatment Centers.

You may not save a lot of money but if everyone just turned off the water while brushing our teeth imagine the impact on our water supplies nation wide! So a new slogan for the conservationist; Just turn it off while you brush!
