people to conserve water.>

Angelika The Californian winter of 2006/2007 brought us too little rain, so the water reservoirs were not sufficiently filled. In the summer, this can lead to water shortages, especially in Southern California. That's why we recently received a... Brochure from theWaterworks into the house, which contained tips for saving water.

You know, installing water-saving showerheads, only running the dishwasher when it's fully loaded, not leaving the tap running while brushing your teeth. Dry winters have occurred more frequently in California. However, I found it interesting when reading the brochure that it pointed out global climate change, which scientists say will bring us drier winters in the future. Ha, didn't I already announce in the last newsletter that the topic of global warming has become socially acceptable in the USA? Even Bush couldn't help but grudgingly acknowledge climate change as a fact at the G-8 summit in Heiligendamm, even though he had denied it until recently. Now, this doesn't immediately make him a Greenpeace activist, but every beginning is difficult.
