The government projects that at least 36 states will face water shortages within five years.
In California, Governor Schwarzenegger has declared an official statewide drought.
California uses about 23 trillion gallons of fresh water per year.
The United States as a whole uses more than 148 trillion gallons.
Think about this…
A 5 minute shower uses 35-50 gallons of water on average.
There are approximately 36,553,215 people in California alone.
Multiply that times 5 showers a week…
(we’ll use 35 gal avg)
That’s 6,396,812,625 gallons of water down the drain...
332,634,256,500 gallons a year!
If only 1% of Californians stopped showering just one day a week…
We could save
665,268,513 gallons of water a year.
Imagine how much could be saved if the rest of the nation participated!
We're asking you to stop showering just one day a week…
