Warm water is an easy fix though, while the substantial pollutants and global warming from fossil fuels are not. Every time this topic comes up I encourage people to look at The Oregon Garden - all the water that cycles through The Garden is treated city waste water that, after being zapped with UV light to sanitize it, is too warm to reintroduce directly to the water system. So it is pumped up to The Garden where it filters through a man-made wetlands system, cools down, and then goes back in to a natural stream. This wetlands system is also teaming with plants and animals. It’s pretty awesome.
