Same.
So those establishments that were/are practicing water conservation would serve you whatever you ordered and a glass of water? 2 glasses of liquid?
If that's the case that really sounds backwards to me.
Back on topic, I eat local food because it tastes better. I shop with my own grocery bag because its sturdier, holds more, and it's annoying dragging 100's of plastic bags to a recycle place. I carpool or take transit to school 90% of the time, mostly out of necessity because I can't really afford gas (couldn't afford it when it was $2.50 a gallon, sure can't now)
I don't really do anything out of a conscious effort to save the planet, I do things because they're easier for me.
