Conserve this and that and that and that!
Well this had to come to OUT sooner or later... vent, vent, vent...
The powers that be, telling us to conserve water use, and all the while the City runs water all over the streets! Every time they water plants or grass in the center dividers...Daaaa  I can not believe we NEED watered grass in those dividers, If they like it GREEN, use Green cement, but the Red Brick/Block looking cement looks great!?   Why waste money watering and then cutting all that GRASS???

As far as shade trees go, (in the dividers) they need to use TRUE Drip systems, no runoff or wasted water at all. Plus the trees grow way faster with a "REAL" DRIP system.
As far as home conservation goes, one of the biggest sewer line problems comes from not enough water flow, to get "things floated" away from your home, to the main sewer lines. LOW FLOW Toilets SUCK!  Most people that have one, also have a plunger handy for all those blocked lines, what a stinky pain...My Son is a plumber and sees this all the time.
Plus; when company comes to our home, and uses the John with a quick flush, (not holding the handle down till all the water is emptied from the tank) the lines many times, get clogged up, that day!
Ever since we put up a sign asking people to hold handle down through complete flush, NO PROBLEMS! That little bit of water, will not get the job done correctly as far as I am concerned... It has proven out time and time again... 

Now if you really want to conserve water, I do not believe in filling the toilet tank with drinkable water! All the shower and sink water should be used to fill the tanks to flush the Johns.
Now if you have Kids drinking out of the toilets, I don't know what to tell you there.. hehe

Now this really gets me! They tell you not to put certain things into your trash, so it will not contaminate the land fills??? I have read where those so called land fills are sealed from everything, no light, no air, no water, nothing gets IN or OUT! TOP or BOTTOM! It is sealed up like a tomb, paper does not even rot in there... So, WHY? are they telling us otherwise???  I guess I am feeling a bit disgusted with the SYSTEM, so today I am venting... Anyone else feel this way??
