One small step for man… our population grows and our resources do not. There is no more fresh water on Earth today than there was a million years ago. Yet today, 6 billion people share it. Since 1950, the world population has doubled, but water use has tripled.� Early in the new millennium, Californians use nearly 23 trillion gallons of water a year, much of it coming from Sierra Nevada snowmelt. But climate change is producing less snowpack and is causing it to melt faster each year, jeopardizing future supplies.It’s become very clear that we need to conserve.
Virtually any building can generate the majority of the energy it needs using modern well engineered solar systems, it’s not that difficult.
