6. Sometimes simple is better!

And in this case, that fact that it takes a little effort for the person to use it means that they will really honor the substance as they should.

Sadly, that water that comes from the Carlsbad and other plants will go into the same domestic drinking water distribution where it can be used by citizens to wash their SUVs, hose down their driveways, and waste in other ways.

My biggest concern, however, is how abundance might drive more growth in a place already importing 90% of it's water.

Anyway, yeah, the cone is cool. I've used it and it's now in a teacher friend's classroom.

I hope they're not talking just about drinking water, which is a tiny component of water needed NickB79 Jan 2015 #7
