WWF published a study on French water consumption on Tuesday July 22, July 22. According to her, we engulf 250 liters of so -called “invisible” water every day: water used to produce our food, our clothes or to do a search on the Internet.
We use it daily to drink, wash or do the dishes. Water, this essential but exhaustible resource. To save it, it is not enough to close the taps, because our consumption is not limited to what we see, as shown in a study published by the WWF association.
According to her, we use an average of 650 liters of water per day. In addition to the 150 liters to wash or drink, 250 are linked to our diet. It is indeed necessary to irrigate the vegetables or water the animals that end on our plate. But a standard beef steak, for example, requires 10 times more water than an organic steak nourished with grass.
An invisible imprint, forcing to rethink our eating habits by vegetating our meals, as advised by the association. WWF estimates that replacing the crops most gourmet in water could save more than 10 % of the country’s total consumption.
