Interesting article over on guardian.co.uk discussing the UK's water footprint, another example of an environmental cost of our lifestyles that we're able to easily ignore. They also have a good interactive guide to put things in perspective. The piece is based around a new report from the WWF that they've released as it's World Water Week. The full report is a 7.7Mb PDF and can be found here. I'm going to give it a thorough read.
