The Water You're Eating

Good Magazine has a great chart on how much water you use in your daily life that is not easily calculated.  For example: Dinner

Curtain #1 - more water

Beef (1 lb.) - 1,500 gallons

Wine (one glass) - 31 gallons

Bread (two slices) - 11 gallons/slice

Dishwashing (by hand) - 20 gallons

Curtain #2 - less water

Chicken (1 lb.) - 287 gallons

Beer (one pint) - 20 gallons

Baked Potato - 7 gallons

Dishwashing (energy star dishwasher) - 4 gallons

Don't take our word for it, check out the chart.
