1. The first question that I asked Jenson was how long has he been practicing conserving water in his household. His response was “I have been actively conserving water for about the past 4 years [not counting the years that he wasn’t aware of him conservation practice].” His practice has helped keep the amount of wasted water to a bare minimum.
2. He also told me that on average, “just one flush is two gallons of water” now multiple it by everyone in this country, which amounts to an incredibly large number of water used just for toilets alone. I now understand why they only flush the toilet when needed and it is an easy step to practice in households. I would definitely consider doing this in my future house because it is an easy way to conserve water but also it saves money on your monthly water bill.

Jenson started by
“Simply using any containers I could find to
collect rain runoff; buckets, trash barrels, tubs, watering cans, etc. I also
use the roof gutters and rather than going out to the street, I direct the rain
water throughout the yard using trenches, rocks, and thick layers of mulch. The
mulch and rocks help to absorb and slow the rain runoff and allows the water to
soak into the ground better. Under the mulch is diverse habitat of beneficial
microbes, insects, and fungi that help the surrounding vegetation and retain
moisture.”
He was able to demonstrate this invention which at first confused me but after the watching how it was done I was in amazed on how he was able to build this with very little room.
