It's more than you think.

A gallon for brushing teeth?! Damn people, turn off your faucet when you're not using it.

I think the Dishwashing and Laundry ones can be omitted, because those tasks are not done every day.

The point of this video is to raise your consciousness of the amount of water, clean drinkable water, that we can and do use on a daily basis. Some areas of the world do not have the luxury of plentiful clean water to drink--let alone to shower and wash clothes and dishes. Some areas of this country are in eminent danger of a water shortage, notably California, Nevada, Arizona to name a few. It would certainly help to be aware of how much water you are consuming and how you can as an individual cut down on your use of water.

You got to be kidding.Whilst in a village in Cambodia doing communitu service, our team of 40 used at most 20 gallons of water for 5 days...and we did bathe and wash our dishes.700 is insane.

My usual shower is 30min.
I could do 2 min showers.
I just don't have the motivation to do so.

I have no idea how much a gallon is. Can this channel just accept the fact that a lot of its viewers are not just Americans.

I got an ad that was _twice as long_ as the video!

I had to calculate thet for a 7th grade science project and numbers were really different for each person.So these numbers might make no sense for you.

This is why I flush my toilet only once every 2 weeks.

It's funny because I have a well, so one day is actually like, less than half of that.

This dosent seem right. I use less water for brushing my teeth than drinking. 1/2 a gallon for washing fruit? More like 1/2 a cup. Also I could easily take a shower with 4 gallons of water

[Teledoor]

Auuugh, don't leave the water on while you brush your teeth!

[Oliviasaurus]

Some don't really apply to me. I don't shower every single day because it's bad to. I don't leave the water running when I brush my teeth and I don't do laundry every day.

[iconforuc]

the reality of this makes me really sad :(

[benyamangeria]

Why can't we all just use SI-Scales... WTF is a gallon

[KeepCalmAndCarrieOn]

Leaving the tap on while brushing teeth is one of my biggest pet peeves [screaming internally]

[venter]

Jeez, makes one wonder how many gallons of clean freshwater there is in the entire world.

[slimChedeh]

naaaah, i was raised not to have the water running while brushing, 10 minutes tops in shower and who does dishes/laundry daily? youd be washing like 10 things

[PotassiumBromide]

I think we can all agree that we won't use as much water now...
For about a day...

[EisforEvil]

Why on Earth would it take a gallon of water to brush your teeth?
