â It takes around 1,800 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to produce just one pair of regular olâ blue jeans.â Thatâs more water than it takes to make a ton of cement or a barrel of beer (although Iâm sure some of you do not consume this yet).
Your favorite t-shirt is made from more than cotton and memories. One key ingredient that doesnât show up on your shirtâs label is water. Amazingly, it can take 2,700 liters to produce the cotton needed to make a single t-shirt. This is the unseen or âvirtual waterâ we consume every day. So, while itâs important to fix leaky taps and buy efficient washing machines, the water we use at home is only part of our total water footprint.
