Use Less Water and We Have Less Pollution

Taking shorter showers is just the beginning. — Cutting down on wasted water To be better people, we have to waste less. Think of all the times when you run water: over vegetables, rinsing a razor, brushing teeth, cleaning the porch or sidewalk.

It does mean we are socialized people. There are still plenty of places in the world where women do most of the emotional, and often physical labor (like childcare, water-hauling, and farming.)…
