It takes a lot of water to grow alfalfa to feed cows. A LOT! It also takes a ton of water to grow rice. Both alfalfa and rice are grown in CA. Eat less beef and rice.
Added bonus is you will loose weight, fat ass. Remember, less weight means less fuel used up to move your car. Less fuel used means less water required to process and transport that fuel.

CA is officially in a drought
California announced it was in a drought June 4, 2008. You all know I've been bitching about water use for years now. I've even stopped watering my mom's lawn for a year now and planted natives plants.

1) Saving water brushing your teeth:
The average person uses 2 gallons of water brushing their teeth. You can do much better than this. Think of 2 milk containers. That's ridiculous! Here's how to accomplish it:
Brush your teeth, THEN floss.
1) Brush. Rinse just once while simultaneously rinsing your toothbrush.
2) Floss. Rinse one more time. Now the toothpaste is gone.
3) Make sure you have a 1 gpm aerator on your bathroom sink. Get one for free from your water company.
The water should be flowing for a total of 10-20 seconds for this entire process. Don't leave the water on while you brush because only morons do that.
