Imagine you had to go a day without water. Which of your daily activities would not be possible?

I tried a day without water for two days, however unconsciously I fixed a cup of tea, flushed, and washed a load of clothes. I will try daily to go a full day without using water. To be continued.....

NO: Bathing, drinking my daily intake of H20, giving water to Lulu (our dog foster), laundry, cooking yummy pasta, making my wife her morning coffee...

Please take a moment to watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GvW4uvjpds. I can't imagine not being able to wash my hands for one day. I can't imagine not being able to refill my water bottle multiple times a day. I can't imagine not being able to cook without water.

To assist in "reuse" I've found Buy Nothing Facebook group helpful for donating things that no longer serve a purpose for my needs. It's organized by neighborhood, and I've been able to borrow a specific tool, or find a new home for an old exercise bike...

REFLECTION QUESTION
Cultivating Communities Pull Together Items to Donate

How can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?

Joseph Montemurno 10/18/2022 6:20 PM

Get creative. Simplify. Focusing on needs over wants. Make up a fun rule like for everything that comes into the home - one thing (or 2) must go! Just don't forget to consider donating items that you no longer want to a good cause or local need vs placing on curb.
