88 GALLONS PER DAY

- Americans use a shocking 88 gallons of water per day just from the faucets and toilets in our homes and workplaces. Australians weigh in at a whopping 82 gallons per day. (source)
- But the water we see in our sinks and bathtubs is nothing compared to the water that goes into producing the food we eat: 1,095 gallons per day. That's a gallon and a half of water every two minutes. (source)
- The good news is that a little bit of effort makes a big impact. For example, switch to meatless chili and save more than a hundred gallons of water. (source)
