Skipping a single car wash would save more water than two people buy in bottles each year. But here’s the kicker: A single steak dinner uses as much water as almost a lifetime (61½ years’ worth, to be exact) of drinking bottled water.“Sources - 1) EPA; 2)Maryland Department of the Environment; 3) Washington State University, Irrigation in the Pacific Northwest;4) Slate; 5) Energy Star; 6) University of Georgia; 7) H2ouse; 8) City of Davis, Calif.; *bottled water info from IBWA; **food data from waterfootprint.org -- source link
