IPCC scientist have made it clear that it is extremely important to cut down CO2 emissions in the next few years. If not, the effects and implications of what we’ll need to do to get back on track will be a lot more severe. So far, CO2 emissions have been increasing every year.

According to IPCC, Upgrading existing buildings is the most effective way that we can have an impact as fast as possible. And water is a critical component to this. Why?

If all households in Shanghai would upgrade to Altered:Nozzles they would save 240 million gallons of water and 9,500 tons of CO2. Every single day! When WWF crunched the numbers they found that the total global potential for installing Altered:Nozzles in households is 180 million tons of CO2 per year. Equivalent to the total emissions from 40 million people (everyone living in New York, Paris, London, Hong Kong and Rome). Let’s just say it’s a lot.
