Understand My Water Footprint
Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.

REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergyYour utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage? If you live on campus or in shared housing, you may not receive a utility bill—so what are some other ways you can reduce energy use in your living space?
Noah Conigliaro 102 11/05/2025 4:09 PMI have taken my own set of steps to reduce the amount of energy that I consume on a daily use. I always make sure lights are turned off when im not home along with the a/c or heat being off aswell. When using my thermostat I never set it to high or low. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterWhat did you notice about your habits or routines when limiting your showers to five minutes? What changes—if any—do you think you’ll continue long-term?
Noah Conigliaro 102 11/05/2025 4:06 PMFor this challange I have already always taken short showers. I know that lots of gallons of water are wasted during showers. With that I know that this will stay long term as I have been doing this for a while. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterDo you know where your campus or community gets its water? If not, how could you find out?
Noah Conigliaro 102 11/05/2025 4:05 PMI believe the water is from the York Water Company, their water originates in the watershed of the codurus creek, which from there it is treated, stored, and distributed through a network of reservoirs, treatment plants and piping.-
