It is important to drink

It is important to drink clean water, or cleansed of impurities and harmful salts. The basis of our body is water and our health is directly dependent on the quality of water. By Sergio

What's the Beef

Beef production accounts for approximately 1/3 of all water consumption in the state of California. Over 5 million acre feet per yer by most estimates. Unbelievable. Think about it.

I wonder...

if this book discusses vegetarianism at all. No, this is not a plea for the animals. I don't work or represent PeTA, and I won't throw a sack of flour at you because you're wearing fur. Perhaps the biggest thing any one person can do to combat water shortages is to stop eating meat or at least cut down on how many times meat is consumed in a day, week, or month.

water shortage

we moved to the great state of California in 1973 and we have seen all the new housing ,condos,gambling,schools everywhere we drove in our great state, now the government wants us to think of water shortage.Put it all together its the money grabbers allowing all this to happen MAKE THE BIG DEVELOPERS PAY TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION -sincerely-----donryoung

I would be glad to participate in water policing and as a handyman (retired) installing water saming devices for low income families.
