Buy Artificial Grass – and save water!
When you consider where you will buy artificial grass – to do your part because 36 states will have water shortages in the next 3 to 6 years – consider Purchase Green.
The main environmental focus for the past decade has been CO2 emissions, yet for many around the world a lack of clean water, water shortages and poor sanitation is a more pressing issue. Worldwide it is estimated that approximately 1.2 billion people lack access to freshwater, which equates to one sixth of the world’s population. By 2050 this figure will have risen to 2 billion.
The US Government estimates (as of August 2009) that at least 36 states will experience water shortages in the next 3-6 years.
With the World Health Organization estimating that 80% of illnesses and deaths in developing countries are caused by unsanitary water or lack of water. The issue is truly a global one and not one for just the developing world.
How will the water industry address one of the most pressing human crises of the 21st century?
Artificial grass is one way to do your part. In the United States it is estimated that 60% of all water usage is for landscape irrigation. 60%! It is a combination of millions of households doing their part to help combat our water shortage. Imagine – 36 states with expected water shortages in the next 3 to 6 years!
According to the World Water Council the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold since 1900 and is expected to double again by 2050, therefore recycling waste-water to create fresh water supplies will be vital globally, especially for developing and third-world countries.
The emerging environmental technologies sector is currently worth $600 billion worldwide and the water industry accounting for more than 50% of this business.
If you are not a “do-it-yourself” kind of person – have your artificial lawn installed by Panjia. Remember – 60% of all water usage in a typical residential setting is for landscape irrigation. Do your part!
