I recently moved back to Savannah GA to take care of gramps, the professor I've mentioned before. The change from Boulder Co to here is amazing; Bolder being so progressive by contrast. In the grocery stores there, canvas bags are for sale on several isles. Here, they can't believe you when you bring your bags in and ask to bag with them. They just have never been exposed to the concept of conservation. That mindset I was referring too in the earlier post. > Why not run grey water from the sinks/shower into the toilet? Sinks maybe. Showers; too great a possibility of urine in the water. But that's the right kind of thinking. :) Must be time to let this thread die. Thanks for the reply, and ignoring me, the rest of you :) best, al
