Water waste

If you had to make an estimate, how much water do you think you waste per day?

I think I waste water a lot...ahaha. Yesterday when one of the presenters were talking about how a lot of people don't give a second thought about using water, I think I'm guilty xD
On the other hand, I don't really go overboard with water use.

P.S. there's probably a little kid that is flushing a toilet for fun right now.

I usually leave the shower running in the morning when I'm sleeping so I think I'm really guilty of wasting water... I get up turn on the shower and decide I'm too tired to take a shower so I go back to bed and sleep the majority of the days. My parents get pissed at me when I do this but I like sleeping so I guess it's forgivable.

As canadians we waste a lot of water without even thinking about it. Washing, cooking, cleaning, flushing the toilet. If you ask me the scariest thing is that we water our yards with water that is treated while people around the world struggle to just get clean water.

I had never considered the volume of water I waste. I am going to invite my family to join me in monitoring times and activities that do not use water effectively.
