How many gallons of water could your household access right now if the tap stopped working?
No judgment. Just count what you've got.
Most families: less than 3 gallons total. That's less than one day for two people.

One gallon per person per day. That's the minimum, not comfortable.
Family of four for three days = 12 gallons. Two cases of bottled water and a couple refilled jugs.
Container options:
- WaterBricks ($20, stackable, 3.5 gal)
- 5-gallon hardware store jugs ($8)
- Cases of bottled water ($5)
Well, I did NOT finish my #SolarPunk jobs list. But it's on my To Do list... Next week, I'll plan on focusing on #WaterStorage and #Reuse -- #Greywater, #Rainbarrels, #Cisterns, etc., since #Maine is still experiencing a #Drought (despite all the snow), and other places are as well. I know I'll be pestering our Town Manager about getting some rainbarrels and #GreenMachine composters at cost for the local residents.
Boosting some posts from yesterday. I hope you'll join us next #SolarPunkSunday!
