If water wasn't pumped to Cornelius from Hillsboro, our water bills would be less in Cornelius, and that would be sustainable!

Janet's actions
Water
5-Minute Showers
I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
Water
Say No to Plastic Straws
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Water
Conserve Toilet Water
I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.
Water
Install a Low-Flow Showerhead
I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.
Transportation
Use Public Transit
I will use public transit 8 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 2.6 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

Alicks Kundart 10/15/2018 10:30 AMI often want to do this, but then my shopping is limited to what I'm willing to lug back and it seems that I only want to buy A LOT when I can only carry a little. :-) -
