Angelika The Californian winter of 2006/2007 brought us too little rain, and our 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 the water utility company in the mail, which contained tips for saving water.
You know, things like 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 recent years 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 been denying it until recently. Now, this won't suddenly turn him into a Greenpeace activist, but every new start is difficult.
