To reduce consumption of natural resources when drinking water, a person can choose to drink tap water instead of bottled water. This lowers the demand for plastic bottles, reducing the amount of oil and energy needed to produce and transport them. Additionally, using a water filter at home can eliminate the need for single-use plastic water filters. Finally, individuals can reduce water waste by turning off the faucet while brushing their teeth or using a cup to rinse their mouth, rather than letting the water run.
