FOODPRINT, PIZZA, and the WATER CONNECTION?
Really? I don’t have it often, however pepperoni pizza has been known to cross my palate. And, because I am a subscriber to the FoodPrint Newsletter, I just became aware of this fact: One serving of pepperoni pizza uses 53 gallons of water!
Why should we care how much water we use by the choices we make for our daily intake of food? Well, one answer is to conserve water right?
Other reasons: Firefighters, hospitals, gas stations, street cleaners, health clubs, gyms, and restaurants all require large quantities of water to provide services to our communities. Reducing our usage of water now means that these services can continue to be provided.

Black History Research Progress
Every year in February we call attention to Black History and Celebrate the causes and progress that have been made.
https://anchor.fm/judith-guerra7.
Of course, Black History is a continuous topic of re-calculating the plight and progress of African-Americans. Just recently the term “Enslaved” has been a topic of conversations and correctness regarding the lack of entitlement to freedom in the course of the African-American experience.
