Water Usage

Flush Toilet- 1.6 gallons
Shower- 12.5 gallons. I have a 2.5 GPM shower head, and took a five minute shower.
Brush Teeth- I used about 1 cup, but I feel it was because I was monitoring it.
Glass of water- 8 0.z

Flush toilet- 1.6 gallons
Shower after working out- 25 gallons at ten minute shower
Shaving- about 3 cups
Glass of water- 8 0.z

Wash hands- about 2 cups

Flush toilet- 1.6 gallons
Shower- 2.5 gallons (Before going out)

Brush teeth- 3 cups- deep brush and floss
Flush toilet- 1.6 gallons

46.4 and 88 o.z is my total water usage.

I know this number fluctuates due to car washes, laundry, or dish washing. I would estimate I average about 70 gallons of water a day. Thinking about that blows my mind. I am naive as of to water supply information. I assume that shower and sink water is somehow cleaned and replenished? But the amount of water I use is unsustainable, and after realizing how much food I eat as well- I see how affluent- yet environmentally destructive- myself and Americans can be. I do not take significant steps to lower my water usage, though I do turn off the faucet when not using it, and the majority of the water I drink is from the tap. I see no way besides lowering my standard of living that I can significantly reduce my water usage- scary thought for future generations.
