Every Drop Matters

That is a very keen observation

 

To their credit they do have a line of green products and it appears they are making efforts in the way of supporting conservation.  Maybe they could somehow digitally input the water so as to not use real resources in their advertising?

Living in a region with very hard water, I don't care much how the water flows from a faucet.  I want to know that the faucet is able to STOP the water.  Between the kitchen and the bathroom, I have had to change 3 Moen cartridges in four years.  (They were both dripping when we bought the house, and I just renovated the bathroom with a dripping tub...)

Moen's older technology uses plastic cartridges, unable to stand up to the grinding compound that some cities provide in the water pipes...

It's important to focus our energy on things that really matter. If they can sell 100,000 water-efficient faucets, that's much more important than saving a few drops during the photo shoot 

I think cities across the country should be promoting rain water capture.

Depending on budgets concerns and systems installed, people can capture a few gallons to hundreds of gallons; which could be used for their gardens/trees.

And we must say no to lawns and be done with it.

Such a massive waste of water, emissions from gas powered lawn mowers, leaf

blowers, trimmers. Bah!

Many cities are already implementing conservation programs because of water

shortages in their area but conservation should be everywhere and not just in drought

stricken areas. Low flows on showers/toilets saves a lot of water. 

hi. im new here. :)

I like the psa that shows a person cayacking down a river, then the

camera pulls back to show that it's a lawn sprinker, and all the wasted water

flowing down the street into the cities drainage system.

I've solved that problem this summer...I just don't water. The grass turns brown but it greens up again when it rains. A side benefit: I don't have to mow as often.

I'm right on board with TimeTrvlr. This year, my lawn was a beautiful stale brown color. I only water the garden and the rose bushes, both of which are in the back (which is now equally brown).

 

Ahh, the neighbor's envy.

This is a great point. Look at Nature. The hills turn brown in the summer but they always come back to life.
