Blog Post #4-Raising Awareness
Week 4 and 5 were some of the easiest weeks of this project. I had gotten used to my shortened showers and not having to rush in in the mornings made me more conscious of my goal. These weeks were mainly just a continuation of what I had been doing and not much was different. A timer was still present to keep me in check but I found myself finishing even before it went off. The main way I would try to convince others in my family is to educate them on waters impact the environment and its cost per gallon. There is a lot of information I learned while doing this project and I believe that is the best way to have others adopt my behaviors. Along with being more knowledgable about the subject, this also has the benefit of having them critically think about the water they're using. This provided me with the motivation to stick to my goal. Taking a 7-minute shower may seem short, but it's not hard to enforce on yourself. Money can be a great motivator for many. Advertising
