Water Conservation.
Structures - residential, commercial and industrial - account for 40% of all natural resources consumed in a single year.
The typical US household uses 293 gallons of water a day.  Compare that to the typical home in Europe that uses only 35 gallons a day.
Buildings both Commercial and Residential consume 33% of the US energy supply every year.
Right now our rate of consumption equals 1.2 planets worth of resources to take care of one planet of about 6 billion people.
Our rate of consumption simply isn’t sustainable.
