Critically Acclaimed New Book Investigating The Enormous Amounts Of ‘Hidden’ Water We Consume Every Day
It takes more than 7,600 liters (2,000 gallons) of water to make a single pair of jeans. That morning cup of coffee required 140 liters (37 gallons) of water before it found its way to your table—water that was used to grow, process and ship the coffee beans. When we spend money on food, clothes, cellphones or even electricity, we are buying water — a shockingly large amount of water.
WATER IS MORE VALUABLE AND USEFUL THAN OIL
