This is an amazing film that highlights just how much our lifestyles impact the resources we are bound to.
Colorado River: Running Near Empty
While watching this, I couldn't help but think that of the 1% (seriously, of all the water on earth, that is all that is useable) of available ground water on earth, 70% goes to supporting feed crops and animal agriculture, leaving a mere .08% of the total water on earth for domestic use.
If you want to see the Colorado reach the sea, think about your diet. It takes 2500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. It takes 60 gallons to produce a pound of sweet potatoes. It is a simple way to have a profound impact.
Enjoy!
