According to the “Save our water” campaign, the average Californian uses 196 gallons of water per day around…

two million, eight hundred thousand gallons of beer was brewed in 2015 (Statista n.d.). In the end, Anheuser-Busch InBev represents a capital investment of more than $15.9 billion dollars annually (Brewbound n.d.). According to Douglas E. Betts (n.d.), thirty-five pounds of barley malt, fifteen pounds of grain, eight to thirteen ounces of hops and two pounds of brewer’s yeast (Betts n.d.; Neuzil 2008), along with more or less one hundred and fifty-five gallons of water (Satran 2014) depending…

In the presentation, Name mentioned that “From April, 2015, the governor of California announced that urban water agencies need to reduce water use by twenty-five percent.” In the investigation, I was successful to reduce 21.57 gallons of water, which means I saved about 26 percent of water in the restricted day than my normal day.

card. The scan reader would have a mini screen where it would demonstrate them a 15 minute countdown of their shower time. If students are not able to comply with the plan then every time they exceed the time limit they would be charged $1.50 per gallon. Afterall, the average price of water in the United States is about $1.50. The fee would be charged from the students cat dollars as it seems more reasonable then charging it from their dining…

cholesterol, and etc. I found it interesting that there’s such a huge contrast in prices when it comes to name brands and store brands. For instance when you look at the price of Borden milk which is $2.45 per gallon, Great Value milk which is $1.67per gallon, and Darigold which is $2.61 per gallon. Another intriguing fact is that for Great Value milk there is 11g of sugar but for Borden there’s 12g of sugar while…

Cowspiracy After watching this video, I did not know if they were telling the actual truth about cow’s impact on earth. It seemed quite ridiculous how one hamburger of beef equals 640 gallons of water to produce, or how 1 gallon of milk equals 1,000 gallons. One hamburger is then the same as 2 entire months of showering! I’ve already had 2 hamburgers to eat this week, and I might not have another one this weekend because of the fact that that 1 more is the same as half a year of showering. But,…

1945; you pull over at a gas station to pump some gas. Five dollars back then, did all the magic; they filled up your whole tank. With a full tank you could probably make a whole trip around the whole city. Gas back then was only eighteen cents per gallon, for us that seems unrealistic, but it happened. In the years of 1950 through 1970 gas prices remained almost the same by just raising by a few pennies. Not a drastic change at all. People still were able to fill up their tank with only five…

leaks are the biggest water waster. Even a small leak in a faucet wastes at least three hundred gallons per month. To find out if you have a leak, first turn…

amounted to thirty-four gallons of beer and cider, five gallons of distilled spirits, and one gallon of wine. America loved their alcohol. Even our first president George Washington saw it as a lucrative business. When his presidency came to an end, he was wondering how to increase Mount Vernon’s cash flow. In 1797, he had a small production that made around 600 gallons of alcohol. By 1798, our first president had his first distillery and in one year was making 11,000 gallons of alcohol.…
