节约用水！Water Conservation

今天带客户去看房，旁边一老太太用hose冲她家的草坪，也就罢了。 之后就开始洗她的driveway. 我眼睁睁看着她浪费水还是没有勇气去和她说一下。 为什么有的人节约用水的意识那么差？ 就算是水白来的，也不要浪费，别说现在加州的水多金贵啊。

昨天我发到我们社区的bbs上面的帖子。有很多人跟贴，补发在这里也。 希望有更多的人能自觉的减少用水。

San Diego imports more than 85% of its water. Every drop is precious even without this fire. I would suggest that everyone in our community try our best to conserve water. I know there are already many people doing so and let's share our tips of water conservation here. What we do in our family is we use a small bucket to collect water when we wash fruits and vegetables.Then dump the water into a big bucket. When its full we use it watering plants in the yard. It may not seem very convenient but you will be amazed that how much water you can save this way. I also found some tips here: http://www.sandiego.gov/water/conservation/tips.shtml

regarding water conservation... i was VERY surprised to see a home owner on 4S Ranch Parkway (just a couple of houses north of Lone Quail on the east side of the street) with his screens off of his windows and washing them down today in the front yard...There has ONLY been talks about water conservation for days and to use water for something so trivial, that could definitely wait. I felt it was very selfish and short-sighted.

Good topic! Here's what we do: 1. Turn off water when brushing your teeth2. Water less minutes if possible.. decrease each station time by 1 minute, and then check in a week to see if grass is as green. If it is, decrease it by another minute until you see a color difference! =) We safed ALOT of water doing so!! We saw a drop in our water bill!
