Eight female time travelers experienced a not-too-distant future of water scarcity in an isolated location in the Mojave Desert for four weeks. They could not use more than four gallons (= 15 liters) of water per person per day and consumed a water-wise vegan diet. This article reports and reflects on the experience of this art-science project. We show that the participants had no difficulty adjusting to a resource scarce environment or living in a remote location. Although many technical solutions are available to support a transition to a sustainable future, this experiment shows that behavioral changes alone could be sufficient without a negative impact on the quality of life. This leads us to reflect on the role of social and biophysical contexts in our ability to change our lifestyles.
