This piece uses sound and a touch of humor (at the gentle expense of his wife) to breathe life into a bunch of numbers that would have made my eyes glaze over in print. I appreciate, too, that the producer went beyond the standard 'take shorter showers' approach to home water consumption in order to look at the water used in the manufacturing of milk and clothing and other items. Obviously, we can't control a lot of those uses, but it does help to be aware.
