[...] Check it out! While looking through the blogosphere we stumbled on an interesting post today.Here’s a quick excerptautomatic dishwasher short cycle = 7 gallons. washing machine short cycle with minimal water level = 27 gallons.

Bernard,
Thank you for your comment. I’ve been thinking about the city putting restrictions on people. While I do believe that water restrictions on households has it’s place. It seems that the government goes about things backwards. Putting water restrictions on us first instead of corporations. Do the paper makers get fined for not recycling the 12 oz of water it takes to make one piece of paper? Is the white house being fined for keeping their landscaping nice & green? Water shortages are a world wide problem, when the water runs out in one place, they have water brought in from another. That’s part of how Georgia got into so much trouble. Their water is also being used in Florida because of Florida’s water shortages. Now Georgia will be forced to get water from somewhere else. The projections are that things will get worse. We need water to live, depending on the person & the weather conditions, a person can only live 8-14 days without water. A world without fresh water won’t last very long. There are so many things that the government should or could do, but aren’t done because of corporations buying themselves exemptions or just simple denial on their part. Now at this point in my life I can’t do much to stop those problems. All I can do is to educate myself & others who are willing to learn. Do my part & hope that others will also. If enough people become aware, eventually the government will have to listen, we may not have the money of the major corporations, but we do have the numbers.

Hope you enjoyed It’s a Wonderful Life…it’s one of my favs!

I believe it was back in the 1980s when water rationing happened here in Corpus Christi,Texas. I can remember the heatwaves of the early 80s. There was a news story showing a man cooking an egg on the sidewalk. NO JOKE, SWEETNESS!

I have a clear understanding of what North Carolina and Georgia are going through. Of course the snow if cooling things off in the Carolinas, huh?
I agree that the little things we do can help a lot. I believe that this can be done without city politics tell everyone what time they should water the grass, take a shower or how to cook food for dinner. Getting fined for using water to take care of your house hold needs is ourtrageous!

I have a lot to say about this and right now I have very little tome to say it.(It’s a Wonderful Life is on)Any questions about anything I have said I will clear it up…or try too!

Have a good Christmas Miss North Carolina!
