California is facing a severe drought.
Governor Jerry Brown has directed the first statewide mandatory water reduction for cities and towns. The order hopes to reduce water usage by 25 percent.
Here’s How to stop worrying and love the drought.
The average shower is 11 minutes, and uses 27 gallons of water. But with one phone call, California, you can cut that in half…
VOICE: Hello?
Imagine me and you, I do
And even though you hate my guts, and think I’m nuts
We’re facing an emergency, no ifs no buts
Because of the weather…
VOICE: What’s your point…
That’s why I’ve called you up, I want to say
That even though we only met, just yesterday
The Governor has made it clear, that it’s OK
To shower together!
VOICE: Forget it!
I can’t see me scrubbin’ nobody but you
For all my life!
We have to save the Earth
We’ll save water, I’ll even share my shampoo
For all my life.
VOICE: I’m hanging up
Wait:
We have to save the earth – to do our part
Just think of all the thirsty trees – it breaks your heart
And you could wear your bathing suit – at least to start
Let’s shower together!
VOICE: Welll…
All right!
I can’t see me scrubbin’ nobody but you
For all my life!
Saving water, long as the skies remain blue
For all my life.
Problem solved.
