What we have we shouldn’t take for granted. We shouldn’t waste things that could still be used. Use me for an example, the other day I had a water bottle full of water, but it was day old warm water. So, I took it over to the sink unscrewed the lid and right before I poured it out I thought to myself, why am I dumping out perfectly good water, that I paid for down the drain? I could find another use for it. So I set the bottle down and I thought to myself, well now what can I do with this water? I could just suck it up and drink it like it is right now, I could add ice to it in hopes of cooling it down and making it ice water, or I could go outside and water a tree or a plant. I figured that in wouldn’t enjoy it if I just drank it right then, and I already had another glass of ice water so I should water the plants in my backyard. I took it out to my backyard and watered this evergreen tree that I have had since grade 2. Just doing something small like not wasting water made a difference and it made me feel good about myself for the day, thinking that if I try hard enough I can be a resourceful person.
