" 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 strategy to save water 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 the food you eat, called water foodprint. Water experts predict half the world will not have enough water by 2030; already true for 1 billion people. The wars of the future are expected to be fought over water, causing death and destruction. The good news is because 70% of our planet's finite supply of freshwater supplies flows to grow food, you and I have the power to rewrite the water story, it begins with your next meal.
