In this day and age, we should all be thinking about how we can better conserve the environment, because if we don’t, well you know, the planet will die. In a follow-up to my previous eco-friendly list, here are 10 more infographics and visualizations on going green.

I’m a bit dubious about the water stuff.
When we take a shower, we’re not consuming water. We’re consuming the energy required to pump the water to our house, heat it, pump it to the treatment plant, treat it, and pump it back out again.
Saving water in the US isn’t going to make more water available for Australia.
And of course water-intensive agriculture occurs in areas where irrigation infrastructure is well-developed – again, reducing water use there isn’t going to make more water pop up somewhere else.
not true. when you take water out of the river to irrigate the desert, there will be no more water at the end. look up the history of the aral sea and lake chad.
