Review of Week 21 – Conserve Water
I found some creative ways to conserve water this week. I soaked the dirty dinner pots in soapy water to loosen the food from them so I needed less water to clean them with. Instead of throwing out water left in water glasses or water bottles, I used it to water the plants with. I… Continue reading Review of Week 21 – Conserve Water

Water is a renewable resource, but we use more than can be naturally replaced, so it needs to be cleaned to be re-used. By only running the tap when I need to, I will help the environment, and reduce the need for extra water treatment facilities as we are facing increased demand for water due… Continue reading Bettering Yourself Week 21- May 20-26, 2013 – Conserve Water
Review of Week 20 – Don’t Take Life So Seriously

Review of Week 18 – Be More Spontaneous
