Don't steal Mojave Desert water for Orange County lawns and pools!
One of my reasons for joining the Angeles Chapters Water Committee has to do with a strong interest in water Since Southern California is at best a semi-arid region, I hold water conservation to be highly important. I have lived my life only in the South Bay, Santa Barbara and Las Vegas. Therefore, all I know is a near (or outright) desert environment, and places that have a habit of importing and wasting water. In the Water Committee, the lesson preached is conservation is the best way to go, since our imported water is not guaranteed. An.
WE RESOLVE to strenuously advocate for permanent water conservation policy.
As we go to press, the Water Committee received some good news just in time to celebrate its anniversary. In fact, it's the best kind of news any conservation committee can hope for: that our hard work is paying off, that people in power are listening to us and responding, and that we are achieving our goals. We have recently received a letter from Councilmember Paul Koretz's office informing us that an idea we had pushed for has come to fruition.
