48,000

The U.S. EPA says it takes about 48,000 gallons of water to produce a Thanksgiving meal for eight people. This includes raising the turkey, growing the carrots and boiling the potatoes. That is a lot of clean water. Can you imagine what Thanksgiving would be like without it?

Well we did, so we decided to make some tried and true Thanksgiving recipes minus one very important ingredient: clean water. The results? You’ll have to watch to find out.

You may not realize it, but rivers are an integral part of our clean water infrastructure -- 2 out of 3 Americans get their drinking water from rivers. We’re thankful for rivers and everything they provide us, but don’t take our word for it, come see what happens when we try to make this popular holiday recipe without clean water.

Look for more recipes later this week and check back on Giving Tuesday to enjoy the full meal. A little hint -- you might want to bring your own water.
