It's set to be another glorious day with wall to wall sunshine and temperatures far above the seasonal norm. Don't believe what they tell you about the UK- it doesn't always rain!
Actually we are in the midst of a drought in large parts of England. This winter has been very dry over much of England. The east is particularly badly hit and crop farmers are having a bad time of it.
I wondered about having a peeve centred around this.
I'm sure our fellow peevers in places like Arizona are familiar with having to be careful about natural resources like water, so how about this for the POTD;
No Nitram, we don't have fog in England all the time. It's quite rare. Used to get it a lot when I was a kid before coal fires were banned. As for wasting natural resouces, the biggest of all must be oil. When we finally manage to use it all up, and future generations study how so much was wasted they will curse us.
Oh I hate that! My biggest thing is where people let the hoses run while washing their cars. Get one of those hose spray gun things, where you spray what you need then when you put it down, water isnt running. Good one! Same with showers, do people really need to let it run for 5 minutes before geting in? Do everything you have to do before (or just before) turning the water on. Getting undressed, get the shampoos and conditioners out of the cabinets (for those who dont keep things in the shower), get your towels already...
Well, I do have to say that in Texas for the last 2 years we have not been wasteful when it comes to water. We've been in a horrible drought. Wildlife is dying, wildfires have burned much of the state and the shrubs in my back yard died.
We are still under stage 3 watering restrictions but since mid January those of us in north central Texas have had more rain than usual. The lakes are actually full for the first time in 2 years.
Water is precious. I'm actually glad we still have restrictions on watering.
Good thing we have trees to replenish the oxygen we breathe.
