in 3 to 5 sentences describe how a person can reduce consumption of natural resources when drinking water, assume that there is no change in the amount of water consumed and that the change is only in the way water is produced

One way to reduce the consumption of natural resources when drinking water is to use a reusable water bottle instead of purchasing single-use plastic bottles. By doing this, fewer resources such as oil and water are used in the production of plastic bottles and the transportation of bottled water. Another way is to install a water filter at home to purify tap water, reducing the need to purchase bottled water and decreasing the amount of plastic waste produced. Additionally, using a pitcher with a built-in filter can be a more sustainable option than buying individual plastic water bottles. Finally, being mindful of water usage by turning off the tap while brushing teeth or washing dishes can help conserve water resources.
