How Cooking Can Help Solve the Water Crisis
Released on 09/08/2016
[Narrator] The problem with water is simple,
there's not enough of it!
(upbeat piano music)
Sure, in many places, the grass is less
and water seems to flow, or even overflow,
but it may not always be that way.
Because as weather patterns change,
droughts will happen more often and in more places.
And at the rate Americans use water,
we won't have the water we need when these droughts hit.
There are obvious answers to the water crisis.
Stop watering the lawn, stop taking such long showers;
there are other places to sing, you know.
And one of the answers is cooking!
Fact: A family of four uses 100 gallons
of water every year just to boil pasta.
Cut that water in half, in thirds even,
and the pasta cooks just as well.
And you can go one step further,
by simply boiling the pasta right in your tomato sauce.
Just add enough water to get the sauce to cover the noodles.
It works and if everybody in America cooked
their pasta this way, we'd save
billions of gallons of water every year.
Plenty of water to clean the pot with.
