Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day.

    Reducing sugar was difficult. Not as difficult as quitting smoking, but the body definitely craves it. The most difficult part was changing my mindset from "replacing" sweets to just eliminating them from my diet. I feel SO much better though, both physically and mentally.

    I'm not getting any younger! I want to make sure that I stick around for my family. It felt good receiving a (mostly) clean bill of health.

    Found a new (to me) hiking trail. Always love finding new spots to get a hike in and enjoy some nature!

    The average person used between 80 to 100 gallons of water per day. Being under a drought, I have made an effort to reduce my water usage where I can but it was still shocking to learn how much water is used daily. Finding ways to cut usage!

    How did keeping your community more clean connect you more to your local area? Did picking up litter change your perspective on the cleanliness of your community?

    We spent some time cleaning up our local softball fields. It is shocking the amount of trash people leave behind. Our softball fields only employ a handful of volunteers, not enough to handle the amount of trash left behind. My kids are spending time educating their friends of the impact on our community.

      So relatable! Playing softball for 10 years, I vividly remember our coaches and parents instilling that same sense of responsibility and awareness. Picking up after ourselves, respecting the space - those lessons stuck with me, way beyond the dugout and field!

    Exercising helps me to decompress and relieve stress. I enjoy playing catch with my wife and kids, going for hikes and training Jiu Jitsu.

    As my town continues to grow and more chain businesses are introduced, we talked to local business owners to see how this growth has impacted business. My family makes sure to keep our money local to ensure the success of our friends and neighbors!
