Weekly Theme: Week of May 24-30, 2015

The Theme for this Week is Conservation.  According to Wikipedia, there are a lot of meanings, for this word.   Of course, the meaning I know the best, can be described with three, well-known words: "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".  I had my first, strong exposure to Conservation, during the 1976-1977 Marin County Drought.  (Note that the linked article is well worth reading, as we had the same Governor as now, Marin residents were asked to use much less, than the 25 percent reduction for California residents now, and penalties for using too much water were way more severe than they are, now). I consider that Drought, in the 1970's, plus some other shorter term droughts, as rehearsals, for the long-term California Drought, that is occurring now.
