If we add to this the amount of CO2 released by transportation to enable us to have our beautiful bottles on the table, the numbers become truly staggering: for every liter of gasoline consumed in transporting these bottles, the CO2 release is about 2.4 kilograms, in the case of LPG it is about 1.6 kq, if it is methane it is 2.7 kilograms, and finally in the case of diesel fuel we are at about 2.6 kilograms per liter.<\/p>\n<p>So do you know how much CO2 we would save if all of Italy drank tap water? We would avoid the release of as much as 4 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This is made possible by a spiral device (contained within the flow reducer) that imparts a circular motion to the water, thereby increasing its speed. Water is mixed with air and increases in volume through a system of nets and small holes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.acquistiverdi.it\/news\/content\/risparmio-idrico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Water savings<\/a> are about 40 percent of consumption in showers and 20 percent of consumption for faucets.
