RAINWATER MANAGEMENT
message to use water wisely, if we are to have any impact and reduce the hardship that will result from severe water shortages. “We hope that people can now see that the dangers of warming our planet are no longer something distant, it’s here and now and affecting every region in the world.” “The Unified Water Label, is a smart tool which can help us make the necessary changes. When it is displayed on products it clearly identifies how much water and energy that products uses, prompting consumers to make more informed choices.
“The Unified Water Label Association is committed to driving home the water efficiency message, encouraging everyone in the supply chain to support us by highlighting the label and the products that carry it, to ensure more of them are used in the home,” she says. “We would urge all of our European partners to support the Unified Water Label, so that we can help consumers understand the issues around water scarcity, the link with energy and carbon emissions, and collectively make a positive difference.”
