Reflection
Water as Gasoline: I was really surprise and didn't think of the cost for water to be high. When I looked up the price for gasoline which was $2.14, I was thinking will it wouldn't be that high. I got about $224.70 and I imagined paying that amount everyday! I would be in debt every week, it encouraged me to use less water than what I been using at the beginning. Since California is in a drought and I realized if that amount I'm going to pay everyday then imagine in the future!
Toothpaste: While I brush my teeth I fill up a cup of water only half way of water. I don't let the water run while brushing my teeth, but when I was my toothbrush I just either wet in the cup or rinse it for 1 second. I brush my teeth two times a day and I use the same amount of water. After one week, I estimated that I use 1 and a half gallon of water to brush my teeth which would be like around $20 or more per month for water, if I was paying for that amount for JUST brushing my teeth. Including my family. I would be paying more than a hundred dollars! Sometimes my siblings let the faucet running, so I am educating them about the water crisis and if they take advantage of the water then there would be not a lot for everyone in the future.
