    There are simple things people can do, like not running water while shaving or brushing teeth.  One can install a tankless water heater, so water isn't wasted waiting for a shower to heat up. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Smaller Portions
    Fun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of eating smaller portions?

    A huge benefit would be weight management and prevention of chronic conditions such as diabetes and possibly high cholesterol.
