Conserving water
In my personal life I will say that I normally use large amounts of water. However I have been trying to focus on reducing my carbon footprint and it is not easy. I have been counting when I wash my hands or turn off the water while I'm brushing my teeth instead of leaving it on. On top of that I have even gone to the extreme of using a bucket to fill up my shower water till its hot enough and use the excess to flush whenever needed. According to United States Environmental Protection Agency the average American uses about 82 gallons per day. By doing the things mentioned I hope to have reduced the amount I have used.
