Discover YOUR Impact

(read about what this is and why it's important...)

Transportation: (Why is Travel Important?) 
How did I travel today?  Think about each time you went somewhere...

Water Use: (Why is Water Important?)
How much water did I use?

I did not shower
I had a shower for 1-2 minutes
I had a shower for 3-6 minutes

I bathed in a full tub
I bathed in a half-full tub

When I brushed my teeth:

I let the water run the whole time
I turned off the tap

When I use the toilet:

I flush every time
I use a low-flow toilet or put a 1 litre plastic container full of water or rocks to displace water in the toilet, so each flush uses less water
I sometimes let the "yellow mellow," especially if other people will be using the toilet soon (i.e. first thing in the morning and before bed time)
