Paperback
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Riveting facts, colorful photos, and clever infographics raise awareness of our water footprint: the amount of fresh water used to produce the goods and services we consume.
For example, producing one pound of rice takes 330 gallons of fresh water; a chocolate bar, 449 gallons; and one pound of beef, over 2000 gallons. Sounding an alarm about the consequences of draining Earth dry, the author offers important water-saving advice.
