    I completed all of my promised challenges to keep the electric energy down, so that others can use what I saved in the future, for future generations to come. We must all conserve all of our natural resources for all of our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

    Its fall now so I guess saving water is easier than ever as we dont shower in Fall at all. I kid =))). I did shower daily, but I realise I cut short the time as its kinda cold, so thanks to the weather for helping me saving water.

    I was really shocked at how bottled waters are super cheap here. I wonder how they make profits, then again I realise water is probably free, so probably we are really paying for cost of the plastic bottles, the labour of bottling it, and the transportation (Yikes!). And since we are talking about free water. Do any of you guys know that we have an exposed aquifer on 164th St SW, Lynnwood, where you guys can get water for free? And trust me, it is one of the best tasting water in the world (I didnt really read about this, but my cousin once told me that it is really one of the best in the world). However giving my credibility on this, I totally agree with that claim. Im coming from the Far East, Ive been drinking water from all sources, and almost all of the bottled water available on the market, was just doing for fun of it. To me the water from this aquifer tastes as good or even better than Fiji. If you havent tried yet, go get yourselves a bottle of Fiji (Just one time) and a recycling bottle of that water and test it out. Trust me you wont be disappointed. And the next thing you know, maybe Ill see you queuing up there. Ill be more than delightful, the more the merrier.

    I have always been aware of how much water is wasted when turning on while brushing teeth. It is such a waste, and I get so upset and sometimes annoyed when I see people do that. People here are my brothers occasionally, so I always nag at them if they do so. Water is so precious and essential for our life. We don't seem to have much problem with shortage of water for now, but that doesnt mean that we wont be in the future. Just take California for example, it is not far from us and they have been in water crisis for a while. And since we  still have it, dont waste it. Peace!
