I would have your fish focus on blatant overuse issues such as leaky irrigation systems, watering during the heat of the day, leaky faucets, etc. but I would have him focus more heavily on water QUALITY issues. The vast majority of surface waters and increasingly our groundwater is contaminated with excess sediments, fertilizers, pesticides & herbicides, motor oils, and harmful bacteria from leaking septic systems, CAFOs, etc. One relatively simple thing is for people to create better landscaped buffers around their homes to prevent runoff & erosion. They can also build swales, infiltration ponds, etc. to promote recharge of aquifers with all their roof water instead of sending that water rushing off into drainage ditches, gullies, or into overloaded sewage systems. Just a few ideas...

On-line Carpool Organizing Programs
2010-07-20 12:56:36 UTC
Does anybody have experience using any on-line carpool organizing programs? I am considering using some sort of on-line program for employees at my office to be able to easily organize carpools on a daily basis, something flexible and easy to use. I am concerned that we would invest in this program but people would not use it and in order to be effective, people have to enter in their schedules and carpool needs on a regular basis- their has to be a critical mass of people using it. The other thing is that about 50% of the employees are our company don't use computers on a regular basis. Is there a program that would send text messages to their cell phones to let them know where a potential ride is or person to carpool with?
