I would be upset about half a million gallons of water if I didn't
have 50,000 "neighbors" putting an inch of water a day on their lawn.


No water restrictions in your neighborhood? Maybe that's why you don't
care about your gov't awarding licenses to suck our aquifers dry, for
profit. What a deal. The water we use finds it's way back to the
aquifer, enriched by chemicals laid down by farmers, golf course owners,
and lawn worshipers.

The water restrictions are toothless.
I have no problem with charging water companies for the water they
sell but I am not going to let that "anti bottled water" hysteria over
inflate their impact on the aquifer. The people who drink that water
would be drinking something. By the time your average tap water
drinker lets the water run until it is cold and then washes the glass,
they use about 10 times as much water as actually gets in their mouth.

The lawn worshippers are far worse for the environment than golf
courses and farmers. The golf course managers and farmers actually
read and follow the label on the container. They have a financial
interest in using as little as they can. Most homeowners go by the
theory, "if a little is good, a lot is better".

If you don't want your argument to appear toothless, show some facts and
statistics. On golf courses, only the greens need to be green. The rest
can be like your yard. :-)
