In today's All Thing’s Considered local block from the KERA Newsroom: 

The city of Dallas urges citizens to consider upgrading their toilets in the name of water conservation.

 And even though more schools and neighborhood centers are feeding kids for free this summer, a new report examines why so few Texas children in need take advantage of free meals.

You can listen to the segment weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m.  on KERA 90.1 FM.
