Water Crisis
by wildcherry on Thursday, July 10th, 2008 | News
Can you imagine if we have to fight for water in this world? Right now with the global warming, the earth average temperature has been rising constantly the past few decades and the ice glacier already starting to melt. So i am certain that if we don’t do anything, then the next big crisis is not going to be oil or financial. It’ll be water crisis and it’ll be followed by food crisis because without water, plants and animals won’t survive.
I want to share you some tips that i get from the post mail.
Indoor
Turn off the water when you brush your teeth. Save : 3 gallons per day
Shorten your showers by one or two minutes. Save: 5 gallons per day
Fix leaky faucets. Save : 20 gallons per day
Wash only full loads of laundry. Save: 15-50 gallons per load
Outdoor
Water your yard in the late evening or early morning. Save: 25 gallons per day
Install a smart sprinkler controller. Save: 40 gallons per day
Check your sprinkler for leaks, over-spray and broken heads. Save : 500 gallons a month
Tips Quoted from Upper district’s conservation program

In your toilet bowl, “when yellow let it mellow, when brown let it drown.” j/k
In all seriousness, though, this is a VERY SERIOUS problem. This is a part of a global problem. For an pop intro to the problem, watch Al Gore’s movie: http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount_classics/aninconvenienttruth/trailer/ “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Scientists are rallying to tackle the problem and do a thorough planning using inter-disciplinary approach. This is an example: http://intersci.ss.uci.edu/wiki/index.php/Averting_a_Runaway_Massive_Planetary-Systems_Breakdown

Nothingness,
I did attend a presentation by Al Gore’s right hand person about global warming sometime last year. I think it really open my eyes…although when watching his movie my eyes were closed for a long time!
Txs for the links.

I watched news, they said people who drinks bottle waters spends about $2,000 per year; while people who drinks from the filtered tap water, spends only รง50 per year. Amazing fact huh?

With your concern about water, I knew that you did :D. The link is for others here.
It is funny that people think that gas is expensive nowadays but never think before they buy fancy designer bottled water. Do they even bother to calculate the price per size ratio?
I guess, just like lotteries, this is an extra tax for people who can’t do math?

When it is raining outside, take your car outside so you don’t have to wash your car every so often.
Use paper plates, plastic forks, cups, and knives when you hold a party or BBQ so you do not have to use water to wash the dishes.
Take shower once a week .. haha .. j/k

Bintang Kecil,
Lol …the car suggestion is a good one. The paper plates, plastic forks, etc….probably at the end won’t improve anything since to create those they need to plant more trees which require water!

Drink tap water. It’s just as good and a thousand times less expensive. Safe? You bet, according to a Jet Propulsion Laboratory climatologist, California’s got the best tap water around. And some of it’s better than the bottled stuff. Then we won’t have to buy bottled water which consumes oil and pollutes land and devours our resources. I don’t think anyone wants to believe our tap water is as great as the bottled stuff. But they say the bottled stuff is just tap anyway. I’m willing!!
