In wind waves water offers a variety of water activities, including sailing, stand-up paddle boarding, diving, and synchronized swimming. You will also learn about water efficiency, energy efficiency, waste efficiency, food production sustainable, and learn the concept of Leave No Trace. Since this is an aquatic study, we focused primarily on water efficiency.

Here are my definitions of water efficiency, energy efficiency, waste efficiency and food production:

Water Efficiency: Water efficiency is the practice of reducing water consumption by measuring the amount of water required for a particular purpose.

Energy Efficiency: Energy efficiency is the use of less energy to perform the same task.

Waste Efficiency: Waste efficiency is the use of the right bin system.

Food Production: A system of production using processes that is non-polluting, conserve non-renewable energy and use natural resources.

I do a few things at home to make my water sustainable, but there are other things I can do too. When brushing my teeth stop and make sure it’s not dripping. When I take a shower, it can take 7-15 minutes. I am going to start to shower for just 5 minutes at the cost of less water consumption. I also have a few plants in my house and they need a lot of water to keep them alive, so I figured I could use that water to water my plants when I bathed. That means you don’t need to get any more water from the tap. Doing these things improves my water efficiency.

I also learned about leaving no trace and how to apply it to my daily life. Since this is an aquatic study, we will be entering water a lot, some of which will have coral reefs and fish, so be careful. This is done by applying sunscreen 20 minutes before entering the water so that it can be absorbed into the skin and not fall off in the water. Also do not attack marine life and keep a safe distance. Doing these things will help protect our oceans from the damage we can cause in nature.
