Blog Post due 10.7

This week we calculated our personal water usage, analyzed that data, and synthesized a procedure for sustainable showering.  Reflect on your experience during these learning activities.

The best posts will comment on the actual data and graphs created from our water calculator activity found here.

To earn a bonus point on your post try out another way to calculate the amount of water you use in your life found here.  To earn the point compare your water calculator data from in class to the one you completed online.  (This means your post should include actual numbers).  Are they different?  Why do you think so?  Which is more accurate?

Also comment on how the water calculators themselves compare to one another.
