Wednesday, September 3, 2008 ( Water Footprint ) No, it's not the little mark that your feet leave behind after stepping out of a puddle of water. A water footprint is the direct or indirect amount of water that you have consumed based on your consumption of goods and services. Let's have some WOW facts: One cup of coffee takes 140 litres of water to produce. In contrast, a cup of tea takes about 35 litres of water to be produced. (Teh-peng lovers, you produce less of an impact on the environment. Yes, congratulations Desiree.) Including the container, the amount of water you indirectly consume by drinking one cup of coffee is FIVE HUNDRED TIMES the amount. Unbelievable isn't it. Who prefers beef to chicken? 15000 litres of water are required to produce 1 kg of beef, but on the other hand, only 3500 to 4000 litres of water are required to produce 1 kg of chicken! I suppose you're wearing a shirt while reading this. An average cotton shirt needs about 3000 litres of water to be produced! (8000 litres of water are required to produce 1 kg of cotton) Would you make different choices now that you know the extent of your water footprint? I'm not sure I would. I do like beef. Maybe I'll just drink more tea then. References: Lalalala. Cheryl @ 12:34 AM by Servants' Team 0 comments |
