If not too forward, I propose two more tips:

1. Have fewer children. The effect may not be immediate, but our population is beyond sustainable.

2. Lead others, learning leadership skills if necessary, to live more sustainably too.

as a way to say thank you to the good lord for so many wonderful resources, i've been saving water for almost 60 years now - something that is ok to do even when you live in a water abundant area like a river valley! Thank you for echoing so many 1960's conservation trends! - it is good to hear they didn't fall on deaf ears!

There are many simple things to do to use led water. I water my garden with sprinklers which only water the garden area. I water early in the morning as well.

Hand watering really uses water wisely

Only put water at base of plants

Good Morning, thank you for a very interesting and frightening article, I live in British Columbia, Canada we also grow alot of produce that is shipped elsewhere and we have a lot of Mexican plus California produce in our stores, I also don’t understand this when we have our own.

I have also never been a fan of bottled water when it is available from our taps and I agree that Nestle should be shut down, watch Rotten on Netflix, what an awful company.

Stay safe everyone our thoughts go out to you. This could happen in any community.

I shower only once a week (🤣) and use a gant de toilette (washcloth) on other mornings.

I'm so glad to hear you say it. It is spring (strawberry season here) and our stores are full of California strawberries. So wasteful.
