REFLECTION QUESTIONRegenerating Nature Calculate My Water FootprintWhat is one way you will reduce your water use? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your water use?
Nikki Bateman 10/07/2022 6:07 AMI just learned our average footprint in my household is 4011 gallons of water a day, and that blew my mind! I wouldn't have guessed anything near that and was surprised how much being meat eaters contributed to our footprint. Will work more on meatless meals. We already started to lower the footprint by using an energy efficient dishwasher rather than letting our sink flow and hand washing dishes.
