Thinking globally, acting locally
Ecoteam program last week check in
Hello group
The last two topics we are left to work on are water and transportation.
As for water, what I would recommend to do is to order the water conservation kit from Niagara (through United Water) which include: low flow shower heads, kitchen aeretor, and two toilet wanter tanks. it also include a leak detection capsules.
here is their link:

out of the actions mentioned in the workbook I would focus on actions that require the use of hot water such as reduce shower time to under 5 minutes, washing dishes efficiently (full dishwasher loads or in a warm-water soap tub), and running full loads of cloths washer at cold/warm temprature setting.
As for transportation, I would focus on reducing mile traveled per vehicle by combining trips, plan a head, and use alternatives such as public transportation.
When you drive, keep your car speed at speed limit for maximum fuel efficiency, and maintain your car engine an tire pressure regularly.
Our next meeting is next sunday, december 9, between 10am-12pm at my house. We will discuss this month actions, our empowering others plan and will summerize our program by counting the amount of CO2 we were able to reduce through our combined efforts.
Have a good week.
