Florencia’s warmth and passion for her subject are a vibrant force in articulating terribly important social issues. Long after she left, students continued to reference what she taught us. She left a mark on our collective conscience.."- DR. ROSE M. PEREZ, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, FORDHAM UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SERVICE

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.
