Your Water Footprint
H20 Conserve offers a quick test to help you understand your water footprint. It’s not just about low-flow shower heads. The test also looks at the hidden water use inside your food choices and driving habits.
I learned a few things when I took my test. If I “let my yellow mellow” I’d save 10 or more gallons of water a day. And if I didn’t eat meat or dairy, I could reduce my water use by hundreds of gallons a day. It takes 1,500 gallons of water to produce a pound of beef!

We let it mellow at our house. It basically offsets the extra water we use to wash cloth diapers. I read somewhere that the water needed to wash a load of cloth diapers is about the same as five flushes of the toilet.
Myself and the child also don’t take daily showers/baths. That saves water and our dry skin.
