Why Conserve?
The United Nations predicts that two-thirds of the world’s population will live in water-scarce regions by 2025, and many of them in regions previously considered water-rich, including the United States.

The Great Lakes – Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario – and their connecting channels form the largest fresh surface water system on earth. These freshwater seas hold an estimated 6 quadrillion gallons of water, about 20% of the world’s fresh surface water supply and 95% of the U.S. supply. As the global water crisis increases, so does pressure on exporting Great Lakes water. Some consideration has been given to the sale of water as a commodity to fast-growing, water-poor areas such as the American Southwest. These range from proposals for minor diversions out of the basin to mega-projects that would see large-scale alterations to the natural flows from as far away as James Bay (Ontario, Canada), through the Great Lakes basin to the American sunbelt states.

The Need For LEED™
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Green Building Rating System represents the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) effort to provide a national standard for what constitutes
a “green building.” It is used as a design guideline and certification tool for architects and designers seeking to develop high-performance, sustainable buildings.
