75 Per Cent of Canadians Make Only Modest or No Effort to Conserve Water, Says Recent National Survey
Almost half the country feels their water usage decisions won't make a difference
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/07/15 -- Canada enjoys one of the world''s largest supplies of fresh water and, accordingly to a recent national Leger survey, we seem to think it''s endless as 75 per cent of Canadians either make little, no or moderate efforts to conserve this critical natural resource.
The survey, conducted for the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating, highlights several significant opinions about water use, including:
Within the notable range of responses, 85 per cent of Canadians report using some form of water-saving technology, with high-efficiency washing machines, low flush/dual flush toilets, and low-flow shower heads being the most common. However, among Canadians who do not use water-saving technology, nearly half (46 per cent) say it is because the technology options are too expensive, not realizing that there are many affordable options.
"While a significant number of Canadians seem to be making an effort to conserve our water resources, it''s clear there is much more to be done to increase the awareness and importance of this issue," says Ralph Suppa, President and General Manager at the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating. "We all need to consider our routines and water use priorities."
