Understand My Water Footprint

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.

    Most of Oregon's energy is generated by hydroelectric plants. Dams are good for the environment in the sense that they don't release greenhouse gases while in use, but they do disrupt hydrological ecosystems and require a ton of resources to construct.

    I chose a nutritionist's podcast about gut health and I learned that everyone's gut microbiome is different and is greatly influenced by your living environment. For example, if you live on a farm or if you have a pet or not can change the bacteria you have in your gut, which affect your digestion.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water
    What surprised you most about your water footprint, and how did it influence your perspective on water use? What changes can you make to reduce your water consumption, and how will these impact your daily routine?

    I was surprised how much my footprint went up when I entered that I live in Oregon. I think it added around 400 gallons, while southern states like Georgia and Texas added less than 100. Washington and Montana also added over 400 gallons, so I think the PNW's energy mix needs a lot of water to generate power. Personally, if I eat less meat and drive less I can save a lot of water on a daily basis.

    Why are old refrigerant gases so harmful to our environment?

    They are more harmful to the ozone layer than carbon dioxide by 1000x, so it's really important we dispose of our refrigerators correctly (E-waste organizations, trade-in at fridge stores).
