Is Smart Water just glorified tap water? Still have not had that question clarified.

Comment on Taking on Water Challenge: Week 1 – Eat Less Meat by Jack

I am a veggie. An added benefit to eating veggies is that one becomes more sympathetic to the environment. The amount of plastic that comes into our homes, as wrapping, is stunning. A person can completely flip the amount of garbage to recyclables after realizing that the earth must absorb, properly, the refuse we produce. Plastics and metals must be removed from the disposed foods we eat so this food refuse can be consumed by the earth. Someday the plastic/styrophome(sp) wrapping industry will be unacceptable. What a crime on the planet. The amount of plastics we bring into the house must be recycled properly.

I have definitely been eating less meat and considering all implications of my daily choices dealing with water. If nothing else, it has made me more aware; which in turn has made my Earth Science students more aware (that’s a total of 51 people reached in a month!) In future years I am going to hold my own “water challenge” during our Hydrologic Cycle unit in January/February. I am looking into taking some classes at a local college on hydrology and water conservation. I have also signed up for a local Earth Day Lake Erie watershed clean-up on April 20th and I am hopeful that our school district allows my classes to attend a presentation called “Perils of Plastic” dealing with accumulation of plastics in the subtropical gyres. This is all very intriguing to me and so obviously important. Thanks for doing this.

Can’t wait for the snow melt so the luminosity will re appear. I love this piece, it’s the color of geologic time! Keep ‘em coming!

I will use less water by turning it off when I brush my teeth, filling the sink and washing in that water only. dumping undrunk water into plants. Never buying water bottled. Installing drip irrigation in my garden this summer.

I look forward to taking on this challenge, and learning new ways to include in my commitment to use less water.

I work for a private water utility service company and make it my duty to not only conserve water, but educate our customers on how to detect leaks and ways to conserve water. I pledge to decrease my water footprint even further.
