Tea only requires 8 gallons of water.

The water footprint of a pound of beef is 1,500 gallons, including the water used to clean the cow and grow its feed. Because producing meat and other animal products is so water-intensive, the average American diet takes a surprising 1,052 gallons of water EACH DAY to produce!
