    Today,  I take about 20-minute showers at a minimum. I know it can be a lot lower. Reducing my water footprint will kick start my journey to being more environmentally friendly. Next, I will start by reducing the amount of waste I produce. I will continue to use my reusable water bottles, no straws and print everything I can also continue to reduce my water footprint by eating fewer meat products or washing my clothes only when necessary.
