    Not being able to buy something will make people very creative. I have recently tried to start finding gifts for others around my own home. Finding things that I don't need anymore and regifting them to others that can use them has been my new challenge for myself. I have had to think outside of the box on what others need so I can simplify my purchasing.

    What would a sustainable water future in your region look like? What needs to change?

    I think that ideas around water as a limited resource need to be shared with the masses. Maybe news stories about water sustainability on mainstream news outlets and print media would help.

    Five minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?

    I think that sugar can be an addiction. I have in the last couple of years tried to reduce sugar and notice a huge difference in my behavior when I eat too much (moody, irritable).

      Good for you for this awareness. I think sugar has to be my challenge next year. I crave it but I don't think it serves me well.
