    Not too long ago, Cape Town approached a very scary time called 'Day Zero' where they predicted that the city would literally run out of water. The 'threat' has been lifted but it created a lifestyle change for the residents who have continued the conservative use of water. I hope to learn more about what that means and to incorporate some of those practices while I visit this beautiful city (my original hometown), starting next week.
