Water Hog to Smog

Today we demonstrated how poor water management contributes to pollution. Will, the "water hog" took a lengthy shower which used energy to transport, filter, heat, and dispose. Each minute spent in the shower led to more energy consumption which led to more pollution. This pollution eventually came down in the form of acid rain which only repeated the polluted hydrologic cycle.
