That’s what saving water can mean – a small act that leads to tremendous results. Saving water reduces run–off and pollution into the ocean. It saves energy. It cuts back on green waste. It ensures a water supply for the next generation. The California Friendly Program is the next evolution of water conservation, going beyond a temporary fix during a drought to a way of life. It brings together the best products, services, practices and organizations to help us chip away at our region’s already low per–capita water use – without sacrificing the things we love about California. If we are blissfully unaware as the butterfly about the bigger picture when we adjust our sprinklers to the changing weather, use native plants or purchase high–efficiency appliances the benefits extend well beyond our water bill.
