True
💡 Explanation:
Fixing dripping taps or turning them off properly prevents significant water waste over time. The water treatment, pumping, and heating processes consume energy, so preventing water leaks reduces associated carbon emissions by approximately 20 kg CO2 annually per household. This makes tap maintenance an important environmental practice.
