Drastic Times Call for Drastic Measures: “Save Our Water” Campaign Launched for California (LeakBird)
As you probably heard, California, in partnership with the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) and the California Department of Water Resources launched the “Save Our Water” campaign last week, and it’s actually based off of the very successful “Flex Your Power” campaign which helped save energy during the crisis of 2001.
The website for “Save Our Water”, decked out with widgets, how to’s, videos and more, is actually fairly commendable:
Save Our Water is a statewide public education program designed to educate Californians on the state’s water challenges and encourage then to reduce the amount of water they use everyday.
It is a joint effort by the Association of California Water Agencies and the California Department of Water Resources in response to severe water challenges facing the state.
The program offers consumer-oriented information and tools for understanding of the long-term issues facing the state’s water system and practical tips for reducing water use indoors and outdoors.
You can download the program fact sheet here.
The important point to make is that it’s actually exceedingly practical to conserve water, because it saves a lot of money, especially in light of rising water rates all across the Golden State.
Now go save some water!
