Alexander's Story

Earth Camp Commitment

Oh hi, I didn't see you there. My Earth Camp commitment is to conserve water. I plan on doing this by taking shorter showers. That's going to be hard because I don't like being dirty or smelly, and being a teenage boy makes it easy to get dirty really fast. Long showers can use gallons upon gallons of water, which could be saved by simply turning off the water while shaving, using soap, or cleaning your hair. You don't go in the water at those times anyways so its selfish to use up all that water.  If we all pitch in and do our own part, there will be more water for when we really need it and save valuable resources.
