We can save water—and minimize wastewater—through practices like
turning off the faucet when not in use, checking for leaks, collecting
rainwater, and choosing garden plants that are adapted to our climate.
•
By being careful about what we put into our wastewater system, we can
help to protect the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean, as well as
the organisms living in them.
•
Saving energy, using it efficiently, and using renewable sources help
to maximize the benefits and minimize the potential harm of energy
generation and use on people and the environment.
