REFLECTION QUESTION
Materials Install a Low-Flow Showerhead

What would a sustainable water future in your region look like? What needs to change?

Isi Hart 4/12/2019 8:31 AM

Even if every person in the PNW installed a low-flow shower head and limited their showers to five minutes or less, that would make a huge difference in the amount of water that is used. Really, finding ways to limit the amount of water used in everyday life- like washing dishes, doing laundry, etc.- would make an enormous change, because every single person in the region does those things almost every day. I had thought that maybe having a low-flow shower head would mean that the water pressure would decrease, but that's not the case at all! I haven't even noticed a difference, so now, I'm going to try to implement low-flow or water-saving appliances as much as I can in my rented apartment!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transport Use Public Transit

How has your access to various kinds of transporation throughout your life influenced your current attitudes about transportation and your transportation behavior?

I have always had access to a car because my parents both had their own car and drove my brother and I most places. When I reached an appropriate age to begin walking/biking/taking the bus by myself, that is what I did for about five years. I acquired a car about four years ago, and because it's a Prius (and let's be honest, it's much more convenient to drive than walk or bus), I have been driving everywhere for the last four years. I really didn't realize my hybrid car still made such a terrible impact on the environment, and I'm excited to bus and walk everywhere that I can for this challenge!
