Water Water Everywhere? I don't think so.

California is the sixth largest economy in the world, and our population is growing daily. A byproduct of this is water use. Water is growing to be as scarce a commodity as oil.

The state is expected to add 11 million new residents by 2030, and a majority of them will live in the hotter, inland areas.

What is the main use of the 80-100 gallons of water they consume per person per day?
Not drinking water - but for watering their precious lawns.

The solution?
Stop putting in a green carpet of thirsty grass outside your home. It requires too much work anyway. Aren't you tired of mowing the lawn every Saturday?!
Instead, plant a variety or local and drought-tolerant plants.
