    In a 15 minute shower, you use 37.5 gallons of water.

    That's more than two kegs of shower.

    Washing machines can use up to 40 gallons per load.

    On average, we use over 100 gallons of water a day.

    That's 832 pounds of water.

    That's over 700 gallons a week.

    Every little bit counts.
