What is ROTOGreen?
Roto-Rooter reaches more customers than any other plumbing repair company in the U.S. or Canada so we believe our conservation efforts can influence and inform a great number of people. We are committed to conserving water and repairing broken sewer pipes that allow dangerous sewage to leach into the ground, sometimes contaminating fresh water supplies. As plumbers, one of our responsibilities is to prevent diseases from reaching our water supplies, oceans, rivers and lakes. The ROTOGreen program brings advanced, water-conserving products to the forefront for both residential and commercial properties.

| The Facts |
| "By 2013, 36 states are expecting local, regional and statewide water shortages even under non-drought conditions." - United States General Accounting Office |
| "The typical single-family suburban household uses at least 30
percent of their water outdoors for irrigation. Some experts estimate
that more than 50 percent of landscape water use goes to waste due to
evaporation or runoff caused by over watering! Consider installing a
drip irrigation system to water your lawn and garden. These systems use
20 to 50 percent less water than conventional in-ground sprinkler
systems. They are also much more efficient than conventional sprinklers
because no water is lost to wind, runoff or evaporation." - EPA, 2008 |
| "Between 1900 and 1995, the rate of population growth raised two-fold. Global water consumption grew six-fold." -The Aquifer |
| "According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the average residence uses
107,000 gallons of water each year. Less than 1 percent of the world's
fresh water - only 0.007 percent of all the water on Earth - is readily
available for human consumption." – World Health Organization |
| "If just one percent of American homes replaced an older toilet with a
new WaterSense labeled toilet, the country would save more than 38
million kilowatt-hours of electricity - enough electricity to supply
more than 43,000 households for one month." - EPA, 2008 |
| "By the year 2025, 48 countries are expected to face water shortages,
affecting nearly 3 billion people – 35 percent of the world's
population." – World Health Organization |

| "By the year 2025, 48 countries are expected to face water shortages,

population." |
| "If one out of every 100 American homes was retrofitted with
water-efficient fixtures, we could save about 100 million kilowatt-hours
of electricity per year - avoiding 80,000 tons of greenhouse gas
emissions. The greenhouse gas savings would be equivalent to removing
nearly 15,000 automobiles from the road for one year!" - EPA, 2008 |
| "About 75 percent of the water we use in our homes is used in the bathroom." - California Energy Commission, 2006 |
| "If your toilet is from 1992 or earlier, you probably have an
inefficient model that uses between 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush. Newer,
high-efficiency toilets use less than 1.3 gallons per flush - that's at
least 60 percent less water per flush!" |
| "The U.S. Geological Survey says that the Western United States is experiencing the worst drought in 500 years, with water flows as low as maybe half the level of the Dust Bowl. The whole country is currently experiencing the worst drought since The Dust Bowl, and conditions are expected to worsen." |
