13 Gallon Challenge

In partnership with:

Challenge friends to use only 13 gallons of water in a day.

30 mins - 1 hour

The Problem

According to the EPA, an average family can use over 300 gallons of water at home and each American can use an average 85 gallons of water DAILY. And a HUGE portion of that water goes right down the drain - from showers, toilets, sinks, washing machines, etc.

The Solution

Changing our habits to use water more efficiently reduces water consumption in the home.

The minimum amount of water needed to survive (think drinking, cooking, bathing and sanitation) is 13 gallons. Challenge friends to this water game, save some H2O, and form new habits!
