The average American lifestyle requires about 2,000 gallons of water every day. Fresh water consumption has doubled since World War II and is expected to rise 25% by 2030. All of this water use takes a toll on the planet and can create water scarcity which effects up to 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of the year. Explore ways you can reduce your water footprint in your home.
Dual flush toilets, turning off the tap while scrubbing dishes, and using a rain barrel to collect outdoor water are all great ways to reduce your water footprint. There are many simple changes you can make in your day to day life that can positively impact your water use and lessen the effects of water scarcity.

783,000,000 people don’t have access to safe fresh water. The total volume of water on Earth is 97.5% salt water, and just 3.5% fresh water. And still, to produce 1 car it takes about 30,000L of water.
We clearly have a water problem… Let’s conserve our resources!
