OK, so I'm a day late with this first blog entry.  I'm going to cheat straight away because on Sunday - technically the day before the start of the challenge) I went for a decent walk in the country of about 6km.  However I'm going to count this because I knew my week would be very busy and tough to make much time for walking, plus that's pretty impressive for me as a generally unfit couch potato (check out the photo!).  I take a shower a day, so by tomorrow I'll work out how much water that represents and how much I'll need to walk during the week to offset that amount.  I drink a lot of coffee and tea, and of course use the toilet, so will need to factor that in along with any other water use. 

Of course this is a poor representation of the daily struggle of the most vulnerable people in the world to obtain water and use it for all their needs.  For instance I ate a pizza last night - I imagine in a rural village in Ethiopia or Colombia they would be making the evening meal and using quite a bit of water in the process.  Hmm...
