Regarding animals and trees:
Many of us have indoor-outdoor cats, as well as strays that we feed.
Please make sure to keep lots of *fresh* water available for them
outside, preferably in a nice, shady spot. We also have lots of
wildlife in the neighborhood (including birds)! Consider leaving a
large, shallow bowl of water for them in your back and/or front yard.
And always keep LOTS of fresh water available to your indoor pets.
*Make sure to change water daily. *And, don't leave your dogs
outside!
Young trees also need not be ignored right now. If you have one near
your house, give it a nice drink, at least 5 gallons per week - tree
tenders on the list, feel free to correct the amount/frequency here.
You could also alternate waterings with your neighbors. This is a
great way to use your recycled/grey water!
Conserve and recycle. :-)
