- Back in 1992 my wife and I were living in a little suburb of Des Moines, Iowa called Norwalk. There was a huge flood that year and the water was off for several weeks. We learned a little bit about clean water and how taking a bath used so many gallons; my wife preferred a bath so I started dumping gallons of water we had brought from my parents house in the tub. We heated them first on the stove, then put them in the tub. 15 gallons was only 3 or 4 inches in the tub(your index finger is normally around 3 inches long).

- It is a serious subject. While man was put in dominion over the earth, the main focus of that was to subdue it AND to care for it at the same time. Leaning in either direction over the other is out of balance. We should be able to utilize what we've been given, while preserving and caring for it. A great lens!

- You are absolutely right. Balance is the key. Thank you for stopping by and leaving such an excellent comment!

- You've done a great job listing easy ways to prevent water pollution, as well as conserve water. I will add one more for people who have swimming pools - put a solar cover on it. Not only will it help you heat your pool, but they help prevent evaporation, meaning you'll need to fill your pool less often.
-
-
-
- Lisa, that is a brilliant suggestion! Thank you for that! I'll add it to one of the lists. I have a sister with a swimming pool...I'm going to suggest this to her.

I learnt a lot here that I was not aware of - for instance I've been guilty of pouring expired medicines down the drain as I wanted to reduce leachate that goes into the rubbish. I've taken some of your tips to give ideas for the kids in coming up with their commitment to ensuring a clean water world.
