" Even the smallest changes in my diet can make a difference. I know that this is necessary to help the environment, and help conserve our water supply and sources. I will do better to incorporate everything I have learned from Florencia's workshop into my everyday life and my diet."- GENESIS AGUILAR, STUDENT
The most far-reaching, effective water-saving strategy is to EAT LESS OF IT. Did you know you eat, on average, between 500-1300 gallons of water each day? This is water embedded in your food, called the water footprint. Water experts predict half the world will not have enough water by 2030; already true for 1 billion people. Future wars are expected to be fought over water, causing death and destruction. The good news is that because 70% of our planet's finite supply of freshwater flows to grow food, you and I can rewrite the water story, and it begins with your next meal.
