I highly recommend the documentary, Blue Gold. After watching it, I immediately stopped buying bottled water and refusing it if offered. I don't use toxic cleaning products and toilet paper. I'm a member of a community garden which uses a resourvoir and rainbarrels.

We supported a KIVA project that involved water this week in honour of water hour. We have stopped using bottled water, we have installed a rain barrel, and we have boycotted all household cleaners with nasty chemicals and switched to ones that biodegrade into earth friendly elements within 30 days and don't harm the waterways. In fact these biodegradable cleaners turn around the lake's ecosystem into one that promotes the survival of the natural marine life.

It is easy to complain about too much water after record setting rainfall this past month. Our house is built on a wetland area. We have been flooded much of the month. Instead of complaining, I have decided to channel my energy into using less water around my home. I saved as much rainwater as I could to water my plants instead of using the faucet. I am taking shorter showers and no more evening baths. I will also give donations to Water.org in lieu of gifts, to help solve the global water crisis.

I declare we use water thoughfully, reduce pollution and global warming so water that comes from its Orginal Habitat don't have to be given to area's that are short in this resource. In other words, don't waste water.

I declare to live with the water mindfully and to try to keep it clean and pure. Not to waste it.

I declare to work with my family to find ways we can conserve water on a daily basis. We will start by reducing the amount of water we use for showers and baths. In the garden, we will increase the mulch and use more localized plants. In honor of Water Hour, we sent a book called the Water Hole to preschool for the teacher to share with the children. After the story, the children will talk about water around the world and how we can all do our part.

I have a garden in which I grow food for my use, which I also share with others when it produces more than I need. As my way of reducing the amount of watering I need to do, I plan to mulch all of my garden. Over the years, I've found this makes a healthier, cleaner, more bug-free and weed-free, and much more productive garden, all without adding chemical run-off to the water which flows through and under the land I live on. I lived for several years without indoor plumbing. When I first moved back into a house which had a flush toilet, it seemed not only a huge waste of water to use it so, but the most egregious sacrilege to a precious, life-giving resource. As a result of learning to be so conscious of every drop of water I used during those years, I still try to conserve and protect this resource which belongs to all Earthlings, human and non-human equally. Thank you for this opportunity to share and encourage. Blessings
