Saturday, November 1st! The first Climate Companion Quiz answer for November is shared 'as fast as possible'!
Today's quiz was about **'water'** ๐ง, which we use every day. Many of you might flinch after seeing the answer.
"Saving water has no relation to climate change."
(O / X)
"What... what does water have to do with climate change?" ๐ง
"Weren't we just told to save water because we're a water-scarce country?"
If you thought that... then today's quiz answer is **'X (False)'**!
'Water saving' is a 'super crucial' climate action that **'directly' helps** in combating climate change, as much as 'electricity saving'! ๐ฒ Let's delve into the hidden reasons why!
1. Today's Climate Companion Quiz Question & Answer! (November 1st)
First, let's quickly confirm the answer!
❓ Today's Question:
Saving water has no relation to climate change.
✅ Answer: X (False)
2. ๐ก [Answer Explanation & In-depth Analysis 1] "Using Water = Using Electricity!" ⚡️ (The Secret of Every Drop Consumed!)
"Why does using water lead to carbon emissions? Don't I just pay the water bill?" ๐ง
The biggest reason is that **'immense electrical energy'** is used in 'every step' of the process until each drop of water we use comes to us! ⚡️
- Stage 1 (Production): When water is drawn from rivers, dams, or groundwater ➡️ **'Giant pumps'** operate (Massive electricity consumption ๐คฏ)
- Stage 2 (Purification): When water is cleaned of impurities at water treatment facilities ➡️ **'High-performance filters' and 'purification systems'** operate (Immense electricity consumption ๐คฏ)
- Stage 3 (Transport): When clean, purified water is sent to homes, factories, and agricultural facilities ➡️ **'Pressurized pumps' and 'pipeline networks'** operate to push water to high places (More electricity consumption ๐คฏ)
- Stage 4 (Wastewater Treatment): When the water we've used is treated and purified again at wastewater treatment plants ➡️ **'Wastewater treatment facilities'** operate (Continuous electricity consumption ๐คฏ)
- Stage 5 (Energy During Use): When we use hot water at home ➡️ **'Gas/Electric boilers'** operate (Direct energy consumption ๐คฏ๐คฏ)
In other words, the moment we turn on the tap, to generate the **'electricity'** needed for all these processes, **power plants (especially thermal power plants) run continuously, emitting large amounts of 'greenhouse gases (carbon)'**!
Ultimately, **"Water saving = Electricity saving in water production, purification, transport, wastewater treatment = Reduction in power plant carbon emissions."** This is one of the easiest and most direct 'climate actions' to break this 'vicious cycle'! ๐ (Even reducing shower time by just 1 minute saves the gas/electricity energy needed to heat that water, reducing your carbon footprint!)
3. ๐ก [In-depth Analysis 2] "Climate Change = Water Scarcity" (The Vicious Cycle, Earth in Crisis)
While it's true that 'water saving' helps combat 'climate change', there's a scary truth hidden beneath: **"climate change exacerbates water scarcity."** ๐ฅ This is a global problem.
- Rising Temperatures ➡️ Extreme Droughts & Floods:
As the Earth's average temperature continues to rise, evaporation increases, and atmospheric instability intensifies, leading to unpredictable and irregular rainfall patterns.- (Droughts): Some regions suffer from 'extreme droughts' for extended periods, intensifying water scarcity.
- (Floods): Conversely, other regions experience 'water bombs' that cause large-scale flood damage. Water doesn't come when needed and pours down all at once, making it difficult to store.
- Water Scarcity ➡️ More Energy Waste:
If 'droughts' worsen and clean water becomes scarce, people make greater efforts to obtain water. They have to pump up groundwater from deeper levels on a large scale, or operate 'desalination plants' to convert seawater into fresh water. These processes **again require 'immense amounts of' electrical energy**! ⚡️ - The Unending Vicious Cycle:
(1) Water waste → (2) Increased energy use in water treatment → (3) Greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel power generation, worsening climate change → (4) Droughts/water scarcity due to climate change → (5) More energy used to obtain water → (1) ... This never-ending, terrible 'vicious cycle' repeats! ๐ญ
The easiest and most powerful way to break this vicious cycle is **'water saving'**. Each small water-saving habit we practice in our daily lives can contribute to changing this huge trend.
4. ๐ก [In-depth Analysis 3] "15,000L of Water for 1kg of Beef?" ๐ฅฉ (The Chilling Secret of 'Virtual Water'!)
"I use a cup when brushing my teeth, and my showers are only 5 minutes. I'm doing my part!" You, sir/madam, are excellent! ๐
However, the amount of water we save by directly seeing and reducing our consumption might be less impactful than saving **'invisible' water, known as 'Virtual Water'**!
- What is 'Virtual Water'?
It literally means 'water that is not visible to the eye'. It refers to the total amount of water used directly and indirectly in the **'production' and 'transport' of products, food, and clothing** that we consume in our daily lives. - (Shock!) ๐ฑ The amount of 'virtual water' in what we eat and wear is beyond imagination!
- 1 cotton T-shirt ๐: Requires approximately **2,700 liters** of water (for cotton cultivation, fiber processing, etc.)
- 1kg of beef ๐ฅฉ: Requires a staggering approximately **15,000 liters** of water (for cultivating feed grains for cattle, water consumption by cattle, hygiene management, etc.)
- 1 cup of coffee ☕️: Requires approximately **140 liters** of water (for coffee bean cultivation, processing after harvest, etc.)
- 1kg of rice ๐: Requires approximately **2,500 liters** of water
- Conclusion ➡️ "Reducing Consumption = Huge 'Virtual Water' Savings!"
Just by reducing **'food waste'** (by not leaving food behind at restaurants) and reducing **'unnecessary shopping (especially for clothes influenced by trends!)'**, we **save an enormous amount of 'virtual water'** that would have been used to produce and process those items!
This is truly the ultimate 'water saving' strategy, and one of the most powerful and wise practices to contribute to 'climate change' mitigation!
5. "Day 1 Starts Today!" ๐ฟ Practical 'Water Saving' Tips in Daily Life (No Need to Be Grand!)
Water saving doesn't need to be grand! Since we've done today's quiz, let's try to practice just one thing consistently, starting today?
- ✔️ (Priority 1!) Use a 'cup' when brushing your teeth (saves vastly more water compared to letting the tap run!)
- ✔️ When washing dishes, 'fill the sink' for pre-washing before rinsing
- ✔️ Do laundry 'in bulk' all at once (fill the washing machine to capacity!)
- ✔️ Reduce shower time to 'within 5 minutes' (turn off water while lathering soap!)
- ✔️ Replace toilets with 'water-saving' models or get into the habit of not flushing too much water at once
- ✔️ Install 'water-saving' faucets or showerheads in the kitchen and bathroom
- ✔️ (Important!) Reduce food waste, and refrain from unnecessary product purchases (especially trend-sensitive clothes!) to save 'virtual water'!
These small habits can collectively change the world. ๐
Climate Companion Quiz November 1st answer is **'X (False)'**!
'Water saving' was **'very deeply and directly' related** to 'climate change'! ๐ง=⚡️=๐
The simple act of turning off the tap creates a huge 'butterfly effect': saving the 'electricity' used to draw, purify, transport, and treat wastewater, and ultimately reducing 'carbon emissions' from power plants. Furthermore, understanding the concept of 'virtual water' and making wise consumption choices will be an even larger step for our planet.
From today, let's reconsider the value of 'every drop of water' and actively participate in 'climate co-saving (ๅ๏ฅญ, saving together)' for the Earth, shall we? ๐
Start November off with a good feeling!
I'll be back tomorrow with fast and accurate quiz answers and useful TMI! ๐
