Wednesday Challenge – {Be} Water My Friends
- Conserve Water & Natural Resources Day (a day to remember how precious & vital our water is to us… a day to respect and honor the sources of our water… to keep them clean and healthy for all. MANY places in the world have a shortage of water… it is both a GLOBAL & local issue… this is a day where we can take part in a local individual action that effects many people around us)
- wash our dishes with (x – smallest amount possible) gallons of water – do not leave faucet running while washing dishes – fill a tub with water and use it all day as the initial rinsing water
- do not leave water running while brushing teeth
- take a 5 minute shower with cool water
- carry with us a re-usable water bottle so no extra water is left over in a cup or glass (in portions of the world every single DROP is precious!)
- take a careful look at our home sprinkler schedule/frequency if we have one – can it be set less frequently?
- are we watering green landscapes that hardly ever get used and do not provide food? maybe we start thinking about planting an edible landscape… providing food for ourselves and our neighbors
