water saving heroes

[thoreau]

A local advertising initiative for water savings played on the radio recently - so I went to their website - http://www.watersavinghero.com. It says "Two consecutive record-dry winters throughout California have resulted in the greatest threat to our water supplies in nearly 20 years, prompting the governor to declare a statewide drought. Your local water provider can help you reduce water consumption. Learn how you can be a Water Saving Hero!"

Well - being responsible citizens David and I poured over it to find ways could save water - and there on the list was a remarkable item. "Take shorter showers" - and what better way to take shorter showers than to shower together! So - David Goldberg and Bob McDiarmid - Water Saving Heroes! Who knew being environmentally friendly and being political activists could be so simple! and we're so CLEAN afterward!

serious Yay!

20 years ago the slogan was "use a toilet three times before you flush".

I remember bathrooms were sooooo smelly as everyone did their part LOL.

I used to piss everyone off by flushing "each" time. And anytime I saw a full potty, I flushed, just like that!!

I used to say, "so sue me, deport me, kill me, I flushed a toilet" LMAO

It was pretty bad in the late 80s during that drought. I believe at one point water rationing was brought in and if you overused your allotment, the city would be very nasty with you.

All the spots that are hard to reach on one's own ... get reached, too. :)

Oh. I've been using a brush that's more like a "pouf on a stick".

Save water... Drink more Booze!!!! LOL

Of course not all people can do that (like myself with early stages of Heriditary Liver issues)

I wish I had someone to shower with!!! *sigh*

In NC, we're in the midst of a drought, too. So, I get wet, turn off the water, lather up using shower gel and a "pouf on a stick", and then I'm all sudsy, I rinse.

'Cuz, no matter how much I'd like showering with a friend, my shower is barely big enough for me.

I find just the opposite when I share a shower. Much l-o-n-g-e-r.

oh you missed the point - :) - instead of two 30 minute shower - one 30 minute shower that makes every minute count.

I'll take shorter showers when they stop watering the golf courses.

I would love to sweep the sidewalk with Frank in that picture you posted. Damn, then we could get all sweaty and have buttsex and then shower together and save more water. I feel so green.

"David and I poured over it..."

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Never mind that there's a typo. This way works better.

You ARE such heroes. You know, if I tried that technique, I think the showers would be longer and therefore more water-wasting. But that's just my experience. ;-)
