The world’s dwindling water resources are being used by a growing population with increasing demands. Believe it or not, most of the US is expected to face water shortages in the coming years; 26 states were declared natural disaster areas by the USDA in July 2012 due to drought conditions.  

According to EarthShare member organization Food & Water Watch, the average American uses 1,190 gallons of water per day. Much of that is hidden inside the products we buy, the energy we use and the food we eat, but our laundry, hygiene, dishwashing, habits also use more than the global average.
