Our favorite links from around the Web:

+ Treehugger investigates how many gallons of water it takes to make common objects.

+ CNET tips us off to reusable hemp tea bags. Ultra hippie vibe notwithstanding, we still think they’re pretty cool.

We’ll admit it—we’ve unabashedly hopped on the Twitter bandwagon. Aside from being a self-indulgent way to voice our every passing thought (@AirDye is attempting humor in a blog post), Twitter also has a more serious side, as home to some very respectable water activists. In honor of Twitter’s weekly eco-Monday, we’re rounding up some of our favorite water-conscious Twitterers.

Both @charitywater and @watercharity are non-profits dedicated to building wells and providing clean drinking water to the nearly one billion citizens who go without every day.

@savethewater is a water research group focused on protecting water from toxic chemicals and pollutants.

@jdecock is president of Clean Water Action.

@campaignwater tweets about the global water crisis.

@waterca focuses on water challenges facing Canada.

These Twitterers are interested in broader water topics and, frankly, we just dig their tweets:

@climateandwater
@theallwaterblog
@waterthrift

If we missed you, leave us a note here and we’ll be happy to follow.

Earlier this year twitterers in more than 200 cities held face-to-face, offline festivals to raise money for charity: water, a non-profit dedicated to providing clean water to underdeveloped nations. The fundraiser generated $250K, which the charity used last week to drill wells in Ethiopia. Watch daily video updates of the project.

On a related (though admittedly frivolous) note, our friends and favorite rouge tinkerers over at MAKE devised a way to use Twitter to have your plants remind you when they need water. The plants even send a sweet note of thanks once you’ve soaked them. Although more of a novelty than a revolution, these high-tech tweets can help avoid wasted water—and dead plants.
