This is why when we look at ways to improve how we use water, we need to stop thinking only in terms of personal consumption. Again, cutting back on showers and watering your lawn are important, but they are only, no pun intended, tiny drops in the bucket compared to the amount of water that goes toward raising farm animals. You could literally not shower for six months and you would save the same amount of water as you would by not buying a pound of beef.

If you were to cut meat out of your diet, you’d be saving an estimated 162,486 gallons of water each year. That would represent over 50 percent of your annual water consumption.

Imagine if millions of other people went vegan too. Then eventually tens of millions more did the same thing. We’d be saving so much water and sparing ourselves (and our children) so much of the suffering we’re bound to face if we keep on dedicating so much of this precious resource to raising animals for their meat.
