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!-
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.

Deborah Baker 4/09/2022 8:30 AMHello fellow earth lovers!
I am a little late to the party this year, but I finally made it. I am so happy our ecology minded numbers are growing and I am looking forward to a meaningful earth month again this year. I always learn so much during this time.
Take Care and Let's Take Care of Mother Earth, too!

Carolyn Plemons 4/04/2022 6:59 AMWith COVID, I am working from home. I have found I work more and take less breaks or time for myself and family. I will now make a point to break for lunch making sure to connect with my husband or check on a family member by phone during this time. -

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. -
