The magazine I work for, Home Energy, just published a special issue linking water and energy use. The connection is much stronger than people think. The state of California uses about 10% of it's energy pumping, treating, and heating water! So less water use means less energy use, less greenhouse gas emissions, cleaner air, and a cleaner Bay.

Something as simple as turning the knob on and off to only have water running when you really really need it would cut these uses by one twentieth, at least.
