REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterials Install a Low-Flow ShowerheadWhat would a sustainable water future in your region look like? What needs to change?
Jolene Parker 4/23/2019 7:36 AMThis was super easy for me to find and install in our new home! The cool thing is that it is a dual head with Low-Flow, so it feels like more than what is actually flowing out. Also, cost wasn't much! -
Jolene Parker 4/03/2019 4:58 AMI just purchased a house that we get this week and I've been really trying to shrink the amount of things I have. My family and I have taken great pride in donating, recycling and offering things to folks we know. There hasn't been much that we've actually had to throw away and I feel good about that. I'm committed to really paying attention to our actual needs and the products we're buying for our new home. An exciting beginning of a journey!
