Water

I know that when I return to Canada I will hear other people taking 30 minute showers and I can already tell it is going to erk me. The idea of 2 billion people not having access to clean drinking water while 33 million in Canada can waste water and not think twice about it is going to be a HUGE adjustment. 

If I want water here I get it from a water tank or the rain. I have bucket showers with no more than a 4 glasses of water in it and conserve every drop for washing floors, doing dishes and laundry. Some people walk or bike up to 20 km with a jerry can to collect safe water while others drink directly from brown swamps.
