Importing goods, exporting drought
· Wednesday 14 October at 19.00
· Doors open at 18.00
With the global population rapidly increasing, the scale of global water consumption is having a dramatic impact around the world.
There is a hidden cost of what we eat, drink and consume, from coffee to t-shirts, food to computers.
We consume far more water to support our lifestyles than most of us imagine.
Is it time we start thinking about our virtual water footprint?
