On a more positive note about California...

Hopefully these new regulations are just the start. We need to make major changes to combat climate change.

California has one year of water left. Now, granted, a lot of the problem comes from agriculture, but ordinary people can (and should) cut back on water usage too. Here are some easy to follow tips on how to cut back on your usage of water.

1) Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush. 2) Only wash dishes and clothes when you have full loads to wash. 3) Check pipes for leaks. 4) Don’t overwater your lawn. 5) When shaving, fill your sink with water and then shut it off, rinse your razor in the full sink instead of in running water.
