Water Use

Be aware of the choices you make everyday and their consequences on the environment. This image came from Good website which also has some other information documents on environmental things in addition to others.

This poster compares some typical choices that can be made when cooking/preparing dinner and their associated water footprints (both direct and indirect - the water required to produce the product).

- Water Footprint

Use the water footprint calculator to learn about both your direct and indirect water consumption. If you are American then you can also try this water footprint calculator.

If you are interested in checking out some other calculators then zerofootprint has a water calculator. It is a good idea to check out multiple calculators becuase they all take different things into consideration (the more complicated the more accurate your results are going to be, but it will take some time and thought to complete).
