I use, on average, about 3 litres of gasoline a day and about 250 litres of fresh water. This doesn't include the water used to grow the food I eat and it doesn't include the fuel to bring me my food.
But there is a difference of about two orders of magnitude.
- GordonS 10y ago250 litres sounds like a lot - what does the breakdown look like?
- throwaway1892 10y agoIf you're including water for shower/bath, dish and cloth washing, it does not seem a lot.
- throwaway1892 10y agoI forgot the toilets. I found a breakdown there: https://www3.epa.gov/watersense/pubs/indoor.html https://www3.epa.gov/watersense/pubs/indoor.html
- Ensorceled 10y agoI'm using the City of Toronto statistics for our ward and assuming my partner and I are average users. It's probably higher if you consider that I (well, we) flush toilets in commercial spaces, shower at our gyms etc.
