The Oklahoma Green Works promotes schools to look environmental issues and improve. RCDS figured what resources (New building) are available and have came up that water use every day through area around the school are hard to maintain and need better accessibility. With the U.S. population doubling over the past 50 years, our thirst for water tripling, and at least 36 states facing water shortages as of 2013, the need to conserve water is becoming more and more crucial
