A little water power can pull about seven gas-powered cars off the road.

That's the gist of an effort by Honda to cut emissions by equipping a plant with a little hydro-electric power plant. The Japanese automaker outlined its recent efforts in a two-minute video with the tagline "every drop counts." In the video, Honda engineers talk about how capturing falling waste water using a turbine-type device can produce electricity for the vehicle factory.

Honda says this particular example will cut electricity use by 50,000 kilowatt hours a year, ultimately reducing CO2 emissions by about 70,000 pounds annually. That's about equal to the average emissions put out by seven cars in the US. Check out the Honda video below.Continue reading Honda uses hydro power because "Every Drop Counts"
