    That they are far more serious and conservative than we are. They rely on farming to survive, whereas I don't. So i guess I should probably start being more careful when planting.

    We start by not taking the water we have for granted. Take shorter showers, stop pouring away too much water, etc.

    Water, and fertilizer. Compost is a great way to fertilize plants, and it's ecofriendly. So it's a win-win.

    In my opinion, Americans eat more meat because we have more fast food. Burgers are a big favorite in the world of fast food. If shows that Americans are lazier than others.
