Does tap water have a carbon footprint?
You would have thought not, but according to research, there are 19 billion liters of tap water used everyday in the UK alone, so you can just imagine what the world figure is.
Its not the actual water, but the processing that causes the problems. In the UK the processing and distribution of tap water uses around two to three per cent of all of the electricity in the UK and at the same time creates around half a per cent of all UK carbon emissions.
So you see, tap water is not as green (or clear!) as we may of thought.
