We shouldn't just compare ourselves to the nadir. If you lose 99% of something, then increase by 500%, you're still at 5%.
Keep up the progress!

That's how they treat October 24th at Baikonur. Two separate accidents, three years apart. They don't launch on that day any more.

Probably the earthquake and tsunami in 2011 (or, less likely: maybe their women's world cup win later that year).

>22 million gallons annually
Or about 67 acre-feet. For comparison, California's reservoirs have a capacity of slightly over 40 million acre-feet.
Obviously we should try to conserve fresh water everywhere, but I think we've got bigger fish to fry.
