Water Footprint and iPhorest

Just when I thought I'd been doing a pretty good job with my "Green Footprint" (I walk to work, I use a mug instead of the paper cups for coffee :))... now I've learned that I should also be conscious about my "Water Footprint."

Did you know that it takes 75 litres of water for one glass of beer? (a glass is about 250 ml of beer). I've never really thought about the amount of water it takes to make all the products I use, but this "Water Footprint" site has the stats. I guess that coffee I put in the mug has a water footprint of 140 litres.

I have no imminent plans to decrease my water footprint - mainly, just trying to be a trendspotter (though I'm probably behind the curve).

...Speaking of trends, my favorite new iPhone app (though I do not own an iPhone, yet) is iPhorest.


You can plant a tree from your phone. I do not understand what Facebook's "Lil' Green Patch" messages do, but I do know that iPhorest is the real deal. It will PLANT a tree for you, in a forest managed by The Conservation Fund. A REAL TREE, not just a virtual tree. Demi Moore even Twittered about iPhorest last month, ...so it will be amazing.
