In our family we all have a different colored napkin, and our own preferred glass and mug, so that we can reuse them and don’t have to wash them as frequently.
Thank you for replying. I didn't realize that so many Ca vineyard's were planted in the dry inland valley. I also have not heard about the wine going unsold, and being directed to the landfill. Sounds like the wine industry is trying to overproduce. So obviously some wineries need to go, just like anything in the economy that is now competing for resources, especially when they are using resources meant for people. I keep telling my daughters when they try to buy something in a plastic container, as I took a no-plastic initiative in July: "if we don't buy it, then they won't produce it". Thank-you for educating me. I am going to read up on areas where I lived in France. For BC, the raging summer forest fires and now devastating floods on not in the areas of BC for winegrowers. However, the effects of these 2 significant climate changes has garnered profound changes in our economy and people's lives, that need addressing now.
Really great information and suggestions in this blog post Anne. I am enjoying the whole series. Will you be doing a blog on sustainable urban development? This is something we can individually participate in only by contacting our city council, but it is an extremely important issue. I live in Milton Ontario near Toronto. I am speaking tonight at our town council meeting to ask them not to convert another 5000 acres of prime farmland to urban sprawl.
Dehydration is a condition that most of us experience. In addition to drinking more water, consider adding more water laden veggies, like cucumbers and squash as well as upping your fruit intake to your diet.
Wow, I couldn't believe how I had forgotten all those H2O saving strategies that I regularly practiced in Northern New Mexico when water rights began to become a political hot bed: The Milagro Beanfield War. How could I have just stopped them when moving to urban Denver? Now, last night my daughter was complaining about the force of the water pressure in the shower, the hallmark of Vancouver. Of course, we have the other side of the issue, why don't we pump our flooding waters down to California with a pipeline project as big as artic gas pipelines?
When you talk about agricultural use of water, I am always amazed and appalled at the number of grape vines we have growing in CA…how much wine do we need and does it need to grow in the dry inland valley?
