Ok guys, this one is mostly for us.

Raise your hand if you're the one who goes into the stall to avoid the row-o-urinals in public bathrooms.

Don't be shy...wait a tick, is that the reason you use the stall in the first place?

It's true, that shy bladder could be contributing to that carbon footprint in a big way.

No worries though mates, with all the interesting urinals out there, conserving water was never more fun.

It's true. I am. I'm a water waster. I waste water in all the worst ways.

I swear. The sound of running water is so intoxicating to me. I think I really have some sort of weird complex.

I leave it running while I brush my teeth (while simultaneously letting the shower heat up--like in the pic).

I even have this weird thing where I "have" to have the sink facuet on while I'm "taking care of business"...if ya get my drift. I know, I'm a freak. Someone send the nice men in white jackets.

Seriously though, the EPA says that although 2/3 of our planet is water, only about 1% is available for human use!! So how have I begun to change my water wasting ways? One step at a time...that's how.

If we continue to misuse our planet's resources and allow it to continue in its spiraling descent into oblivion, who will be the ones to suffer?

As a guy in my mid 20's I'll feel alot of the pain, but it'll be those much younger than even me who bear the brunt of the damage we're inflicting today...

...and all because we're just lazy.

In celebration of Earth Day today, I was extended the privilege to speak to a couple of 3rd grade classes at a local elementary school.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, what's the greenest pool system of all?

This is a question that many of us water lovers around the world will be asking as the temperature begins to rise...and as we try to find fun, cheap, environmentally friendly ways to stay cool.

(Ok, so maybe we won't be rhyming, but we'll still be curious.)

We know that chlorine can do a number on your body, so that's pretty much a non-option, but what else is there?

Looking for ways to conserve some precious clean water this World Water Day (which is today)?

There are an infinite number of ways of simple, easy, and mostly free ways to do so.

Sure, the purpose of World Water Day is to conserve the commodity of fresh water on this planet, but are you a bad person if you don't?

Not in my opinion.

I'm simply here to pass on some ways to accomplish the "how" if water conservation today, or any other day, is something that moves you to action.

One thing is for sure, the reality of how valuable fresh water is sure was recognized by many of us here in the Southeastern US this past summer, with an unprecedented drought!

I can't imagine what it'd be like to live without it all the time.
