You know what else would help Sam's carbon footprint? not having two homes...
"“If everyone ... spent a few hundred dollars at Home Depot on a programmable thermostat and a little bit of caulk...” Foley said.

These changes reduce his carbon footprint, but they also save him money, he said." https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2023/08/28/climate-action-poll/

Over 50K utilities that manage #drinkingwater in the United States. 6BILLION gallons of treated water are lost to leaks every day. That's 18,413 Acre Feet! In about 3.6 years, that would add up to a full Lake Powell, in 4.6 years that would be enough to fill Lake Mead (from empty!) It took 17 years to fill Powell after the dam went in. https://www.wsj.com/video/series/wsj-explains/why-americas-water-infrastructure-is-crumbling/954FCBDE-03AE-434F-9904-B5B9AA0DFBEA #water
