Elizabeth, Idea - Water Watcher
12-year-old Elizabeth from Keswick, VA, earned the title of the Going
Green Grand Prize Winner of 2008, winning with her “Water Watcher”.
Realizing just how much water it took to take a shower, Elizabeth began
seeking a way to make everyone more aware of their water usage. After
learning that reducing her shower time only by one minute would save
1,000 gallons of water per year, she was driven to find a smarter way of
utilizing this valuable resource. Elizabeth created “The Water Watcher”,
a device that can be fastened to any faucet. It signals a red light and
sounds a beep every time a half-gallon of water is used. Elizabeth hopes
this will keep everyone more conscientious in just how much water they
use up in their everyday life. |
