What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork:

For this fieldwork me and my group watched a documentary about water waste and how we can cut down on using so much water. I learned a lot about how to cut down on water usage. For example, you can just put your dishes into the dishwasher instead of rinsing them first, you can also put in toilets that flush less water down. I learned that the average American uses 88 gallons inside and 112 gallons outside. I also learned a lot about how to much water usage can effect our planet and how we live. For example, in San Francisco, because they are taking all the fresh water from the San Francisco Bay 6 species of fish are going endangered, also one side of the Hove Dam has dropped 200 feet in the last 20 years because it is being used a lot of agriculture and other things. Over all, this documentary has taught me a lot about how we can cut down water usage and why we should.
