but i don't understand.
cause there's no way there's 50 gallons of water in my latte.

whoa it's a good thing i don't drink lattes or any kind of coffee for that matter

but this is very surprising.

wow thats insane!

whoa...i had no idea

wow thats alot O_o
i would of never thought
that but luckily i dont drink lattes
at all im not a latte person at all but i
will try to conserve more water now thanks=]

seriously???!

I don't like coffee luckily.

That was an awesome video. Definitely makes sense. Crazy; I dont drink Lattes but Im sure the other stuff I drink and such uses almost as much if not more water to produce.

apparently not everyone watches the video before they comment, if they did they wouldnt be so confused, its a fairly simple concept.

eliteskater08, i watched the video by the way.
i mean i believe it. i just don't fully understand. cause when you hold a latte, you're not holding 50 gallons of water. that's all i'm saying.

cuz it takes water to make the lids and to process the beans etc.
i never thought about this way

I've got a thermos!
Let's DO THIS!

thank goodness i dont drink lattes

i never knew how much water we actually used

wowies!!

OMG! this is crazy unbelievable.

& to the people that don't understand, it's saying more than 50 gallons is used to MAKE and PRODUCE just one lattle. including the farming of the coffee beans and milk not the actual weight.

i hope everyone takes this seriously. it's a real eye-opener.

<333

omg thats just... WOW.

whoa!

Wooooowww.

Crazy...
I like the piano music though :3

wow that's intense, I don't drink coffee, but it definelty makes you think about the little things that personally affect you.

woah.

i drink at organic local coffee shops. i bet they are a little bit better as far as that goes.

insane

but that doesn't make any sense.
for one, milk can't be turned into water, therefore it doesn't count as earth's water supply.
2. they should have went byu how much it takes to make the ingredient and how much goes into.. this kinda isn't fair, not that i drink lattes or anything, but it's very misleading.

ohh wow

fuhhh...ahah coool vid.

craaaap.

wowzzzzer!?

I dont drink coffe but I dont understand either!! How can there be 50 gallons of water?

Very awesome video. I hope it is well received.

really 50 gallons in one little cup?

OMG woaaah i love my latte's but i had no idea about all those stats definately makes me think twice :O Xx

yeah but they make mass quanities of lids, cups, & sugar. soo i dont think its 50 gallons in ONE cup.

to taysa

they aren't saying that milk equates water. think about it logically, how does a cow live? it eats and drinks water. so, to keep that cow alive long enough to milk it for the milk needed for the latte, it needs water. that's where some of that 50 gallons comes from.

that's wiggity wiggity wack my friends

Wow.. Simply, wow.

WHOA i didn't ever think about...i'm so totally stoping my bf from drinking latte's

Exactly why I support WWF, completely amazing.
Who would have thought?

Thats awesome that l don't drink lattes then.

Wow. I'm glad I don't drink lattes.

Interesting...
That's a lot of water for some little coffee drink.

hmm... interesting

Jeez..

this is dumb.
you could say that about anything.
this is just a waste.

dude i love lattes... theyre so good. mann... cant live without emm

so, let's just stop giving the cows water...
hah.
i mean. water is used in a lot of things.
they could make a video about anything, not just that, and say that it uses that much water to produce.

I'm not sure I believe that, but I mean most everyone drinks water everyday, from a spring or a water bottle or the faucet, so why in latte's? I mean I'm not saying we could use less water, just that everyone drinks it all the time so I guess we, in America at least, have plenty of it. However when I put it that way, well haha. Ok, interesting, but don't forget it still rains the wawter we drink so don't freak out.

Woah. Well, I don't drink lattes or coffee.
But I'm extremely glad that they're changing how they're made, in case I want to try one in the future.

the 50 gallons isn't in the latte, a lot of it is in the production of it, and the cup that it goes into.

interesting:]

wow, loves these videos where it makes you think about things

woah. one latte?

Not too surprising on my part. Everything takes water. Very inspiring and good message though.

sweet deal. yeah that was kinda expected, i mean those things all have to made somehow. it's the same for anything. if you import something your essentially paying for the cost of the crate and the materials and labor it took to make that crate as well. but anyway, i'll probably bring my thermos from now on haha

.W.O.W. that much water... just for a cup of coffee, i never thought that much.. i hope the local starbucks saw this...

I think it's more like 50 gallons for a lot of lattes,
because not just ONE cow is going to make on latte.

Cows only give milk for something like half a year to a year after giving birth, then it has to be made pregnant again, give birth and then it can start producing milk again,

Just a random fact but yeah cows dont give milk constantly nonstop throughout the years so i can see how only so many lattes are from one cow

thank god im not allowed to have any kind of caffeine (:

woww

Leslie-I think that's the point of the video. Everything takes a lot of water to produce. Lattes are just one popular example. The message is, let's cut down on wasteful water use in everything that we do. In fact, cut down on things that we don't really need in general...

in that small little cup?

Oh my.
o_o

how in the world is that possible O_O

I have basically stopped drinking coffee from coffee shops anyway and almost stopped drinking it all together.
I also try not to run my dishwasher or do small loads of laundry like I used to.
But I do agree with stunnadeanna by saying that there is not way it would take 50 gallons of water to make one latte.

omg i saw this yesterday!

Holy crow!
That's crazy.

psst.
water is never going to dissapear.
it is recycled.
steam?
it gets back to where it started eventually.

and there is some hefty exaderation going down, charlie brown.

Sickk
I already knew that though.

uhm. wow?
i don't drink lattes anyway. (:

I love WWF<333.
Good thing I'm not much of a latte or coffee person :].
And it's true, we waste soooo much water that could be saved. It's sad :(.

that's crazy!

man what are we doing?!

I hate coffee. But it's definitely something to think about.

wow. now that was interesting.
good thing i can't stand lattes and all those other coffees drinks.

There isn't literally 50 gallons of water IN the latte, it TAKES 50 gallons of water to make/harvest the supplies needed for the ONE latte. Plus the water actually in it.

I never thought it could use this amount of water..

so...its not 50 gallons in my latte....just to produce it? like watering seeds to create coffee or water used to produce sugar...idk it doesnt make that much sense lol lids arent made from water!!!

good thing i don't drink coffee. ridiculous!

wow.
im glad i dont drink lattes.

thermos = yes.

at starbucks, you can buy ethos water which helps get clean water to thirsty children

DANGG 50 gallons??

to the skeptics and whiners: the video is titled, CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK--which is really the message here. WWF is neither saying "don't drink coffee" nor "water is going to disappear." and i'm sure that they realize there are other products that take just as much, if not more, water to make. the latte was chosen (i'm assuming) b/c it is a product with which we are all familiar and consumed on a daily basis by a relatively large majority of americans.

if everyone who consumes a latte each morning uses a thermos instead of a paper cup, think of all the water and trees that would be saved. it's a SIMPLE CHANGE that would result in a HUGE DIFFERENCE. small changes to a daily routine add up when millions of people comply. increase awareness = increase the likelihood that change will happen.

change the way you think, then change the way you act. that's the point.

its no how much water is in it it is how much water it takes to make everyting so u can have it in 5 minutes

yeah i thought it would be some rediculous sum....

Hmm....theres a broad smile on my face 'coz i dont drink lattes

well thats weird...but thats okayyy

Could we get some actual proof, or credible sources from this, please?
Not sure I'm buying it.
=/

kthxbi.

I probably get coffee like that once or twice a year. That's amazing how much responsibility people don't take...

woah ... o.o that's insane. thank god i don't drink latte's but maybe now i'll get people i know drink latte's to see this video. Great vid btw

thats way too water for a latte

whoa but i doubt its that much my mom works 4 starbucks n she would know bout that shes big on enviroment

this is freaking crazy.
om glad i don't drink lattes

There is no way 50 gallons of water make a latte....I'm lost!

that's crazy..

Wow , I Don't Think I'ma Order Any Latte's Anymoree ..

wow =o
dis is s0 s0 s0 idk
dats a lot of water
it's so surprising

So, you're telling me not to bathe?

DANG I HAD NO CLUE! im suprised and amazed and going to tell all my friends that drink coffee in the mornings!

straight bull

all that water just for the beans that go into ONE latte? all that water required by the cow for JUST the milk in ONE latte?

bull, bull, BULL!!

I don't really understand how 50 gallons of water goes into a latte, but imma stop buying them now. It will save me money and the earth it's water... =)
