Interesting view point, I love it!

Did you know that on average, a person directly uses about 200 litres of water per day for washing (showers, toilets, clothes and dishes), drinking and food prep? 

Something like the WaterPebble  would be a huge help in this drought!

I found this image of the lake where I live, it's really sad. My kids will not get to wakeboard on this lake as I did in my youth.  

For the future of our children, take extra special care of this very precious resource.

@amontagne28  Ya mate, I hear ya.  

Here's a pic of the lake where I grew up.

That's our dock where we used to do running back flips off of.  

Here's a few tips I adhere to, just for the sake of the lake:

• Install water-saving shower heads and low-flow faucet aerators
  Take shorter showers.
  Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush
  Rinse your razor in the sink
  Use your dishwasher and clothes washer for only full loads
  When washing dishes by hand, don't leave the water running for rinsing
  Water your lawn only when it needs it
  Don't run the hose while washing your car
  Thaw food in the fridge or microwave instead of under running water
  Keep a bottle of water in the fridge for drinking instead of running the tap until the water is cool

Aww you guys!  Both of these pics make me super sad.  I love both Folsom and Tahoe.  

My niece was over the other day and hung this on my refrigerator:

Hope you all can use it too !
