Bad news: You might be a water hog. Americans use more water per person than anyone else in the world - 27 billion gallons every day. Unfortunately, it is the river systems, lakes and wetlands and the wildlife of those habitats that suffer the most as a result of reckless water consumption. A new campaign by the Center for Biological Diversity and supported by Levi Strauss & Co., "Don't Be a Drip," is trying to call attention to the issue and help people learn how to save water for wildlife.

That's a critical adjunct to curbing emissions, since it allows the active removal of existing atmospheric carbon, experts say.
