Multi-Pure saves the world! (Well, sort of)

Prevent global warming with Multi-Pure! (wink)

Just in time for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Multi-Pure is proud to present some excellent resources on saving water and energy!

In the United States, generating power consumes 3 percent of our nation's water annually and 13 percent of the energy produced in this country each year is used to treat, transport and heat our water. Conserving water saves energy and vice versa.

Check out some of these great articles, reports, and videos to help you save water and energy:

* "Alternative Energy Projects Stumble on a Need for Water", an article published in The New York Times in September 2009, highights the link between renewable energy production and water consumption.

* "California's Water-Energy Relationship", published in 2005 by the California Energy Commission, reports on the relationship between water and energy.

* "The Carbon Footprint of Water", published by River Network in 2009, explores the energy and carbon emissions embedded in the nation's water supplies.

* "Energy Demands on Water Resources", a report to Congress drafted by the U.S. Department of Energy in 2006, explores the interdependence between energy and water.

* "Energy Down the Drain: The Hidden Costs of California's Water Supply", published in 2004 by the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Pacific Institute, looks at the energy consumption of all stages of the water treatment and distrubution processes.

* "Conserving Water Conserves Energy", a YouTube video public service announcement which earned Honorable Mention in the U.S. EPA's 2009 Water Quality Video Contest, illustrates the connection between water and energy consumption.

* "Energy Conservation for Kids - Water Usage Tips" is a cute YouTube short video with tips for saving water and energy around the house.

* "The U.S. Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources hearing on the Energy and Water Integration Act of 2009 features six experts on the water-energy connection. The videos can be found at http://energy.senate/gov

* "Water and Energy: A Powerful Connection", found at www.acwa.com, is a segment of the public television series California's Water which explores the way energy is used in the treatment and transportation of water, and how some water utilities are looking to alternative sources of energy for these processes.

* "The Water for Energy - Energy For Water" forum, held at the University of California San Diego in February 2009, explores the complex relationship between water and energy.

There are plenty of more great resources online, but the above list should get you started! Multi-Pure independent distributors are more educators than salesmen. It's all about helping others have cleaner water more conveniently, for less money while protecting the environment!
