Heat wave

Seems like we're having a heat wave!

All the green grass will likely go yellow. I always think of water conservation when it gets hot outside. Actually - I wonder all the time about the kinds of things that we can do to conserve water - and about how we can purify water. I think about nations that have so very little clean drinking water - and how vital water is to humanity and the economy. Wars have been commonly about land, religion, social and political differences, and even sometimes about women! It will likely one day be about water and other critical natural resources!

Here's a few water conservation tips:

-Run your washing machine and/or dishwasher only when they are full
-Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap for cold drinks
-Get a water efficient shower head
-Grab a wrench and fix that leaky faucet
-Turn off the water while you brush your teeth
-When it's time to replace your washing machine - choose a front loading machine

The web is replete with tons of sites that have additional tips. If you can do one of these a day - then you've joined the group of people who believe that every single drop counts!
