What If Americans Only Had As Much Water As Families In Africa?
What Is Your Water Footprint?
The average family in Africa gets by on only five gallons of water a day, according to this thought-provoking PSA video from bewaterwise.com, a project of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
The average American family (directly) uses 552 gallons of water a day, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Clearly, that is an inequality, and it may give U.S. consumers pause when it comes to wasting water.
End of excerpt.

Our collective perception of what is valuable in this country needs a monumental shift.
