We all know the whole “carbon footprint” thing, right? The amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual via things like transport, food production, fuel, housing, etc.? Yeah, that.
Well today I stumbled upon a website that allows you to calculate your water footprint. Again this is exactly as it sounds and, in my opinion, is even scarier in terms of the freakish amount a single human requires.

Here is the calculator I used, and here are my results:

According to Wikipedia, the global average footprint is 1,240 cubic meters of water per person per year. That’s 1,240 metric tons, or 2,733,704 pounds of water.

That is ridiculous.

The United States, of course has the largest average water footprint in the world (2480 cubic meters), while China has the smallest at 700 cubic meters.

What’s your water footprint, ladies and gents?
