“On a daily basis, I take care to use as little water as needed when I shower and brush my teeth. My family also sends our grandparents in Venezuela bottled water regularly, since it is difficult to access there. At home (in rainy southeast Texas), we make a point of not watering our garden to save water, instead letting the rain do that. However, I don't know whether or how to keep track of water equity, which is one of the main reasons I want to join the program.”
