    What is one way you will reduce your water use? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your water use?

    We have 2 rain barrels and drought resistant landscaping in our very small yard. I also keep a water can in the kitchen that I fill with waste water that is clean enough for watering plants. All of our faucets, toilets, shower heads, etc are low flow and I was still shocked at how large our water footprint was. 
    We're below the average but there's still some room for reducing usage. The virtual water usage was the most surprising, I guess we're going solar sooner than we planned to!

    I've committed to buying only sustainable clothing that will last and only as needed. 
    I will wait 24 hours until I actually purchase something online to ensure I really need it. 
    I will not impulsively buy something unless it has more than one use and is sustainably made.
