I live in the desert and all of our plants do not need much water. I have made a conscience choice to conserve water where I live!

Water
Understand My Water Footprint
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. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.
Take the Pre-Survey
Take the Pre-Event Survey
I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)
Soil and Food
Choose Water-Smart Foods
The foods we eat carry hidden “water footprints” that affect rivers, soils, and communities worldwide. I will reduce servings of high-water-use foods and choose alternatives that help conserve water and support more resilient food systems.
Action Track
Host a Cleanup Event with Colleagues
Shared projects at work strengthen teams and build organizational resilience. I will host or join 2 cleanup events with colleagues, classmates, or group members to improve our environment and strengthen collaboration.
Work and Organizations
Practice Resource Sharing
Sharing strengthens resilience. I will take part in 2 acts of resource-sharing in my organization or with another organization, such as sharing tools, staff skills, or swapping knowledge, to help reduce waste and build collaboration. I will share what I did in the feed to inspire others!

Victoria Yann 4/13/2026 6:58 AMOne of this site's recommended ways to save water is to put a water bottle in your toilet tank, but I don't want more plastics into the water system. Is using a brick okay if placed gently in the tank? Thoughts...recommendations?-
Victoria Yann 4/23/2026 6:30 AMSo Sam Fetters, I followed your suggestion and bought Drop-A-Brick for my toilets. Hopefully I will see a difference in my water usage! -

Maybe 10 years ago, Project Drop-A-Brick was a neat alternative. A natural rubber brick made of a hydro gel that doesn't damage delicate parts of the toilet reservoir. I re-call there was an offset of about 50 gallons of water a week.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterWhat did you learn about your water footprint, and what changes felt most practical or surprising? How does this connect to resilience on a larger scale?
Victoria Yann 4/09/2026 8:22 AMI learned that I am doing okay but have room for improvement. It's important to constantly reflect on the foods I eat and how much water it takes for them to get to my plate. -
Victoria Yann 4/09/2026 8:21 AMWorking on making sure to shut the water off while I soap up my hands and then rinse. I do it 95% of the time and am shooting for 100%.-
