Mari-Lynn Flaig 4/22/2022 7:16 AMI found out the other day that certain types of apples ( I LOVE apples) require more water to grow than others. Honeycrisp is a big water hog, so I stopped eating them and went back to Gala (which is my favorite anyway). I have reduced my meat intake quite a bit, but it's more of a choice, I'm not liking beef or pork and don't seem to miss it.

REFLECTION QUESTIONBasic Needs & SecurityWhat is one way you will reduce your water use? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your water use?
Courtney Stoner 4/14/2022 12:05 PMMy personal water footprint was 920 gallons/day, or half the US average! It probably helps that I live in an apartment (vs single family home), and don't eat meat. I like how this calculator included diet, meat production uses a LOT of water! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEconomy & CommunitiesWhat was it like to mend your clothing? If you are skilled at mending, what tips do you have for others?
Courtney Stoner 4/01/2022 11:04 AMI mended a pair of my spouse's work pants using an iron on patch, then sewing around the edges! Hopefully it helps them last longer. -
