This summer, due to the lack of rainfall, many cities put out a water restriction bylaw. This prompted many of us to ensure that we would not waste any of this not-renewable resource. And the responses from the citizens of the bylaw are overwhelming. Now like our good neighbors in our housing complex, many of us within good hygiene practice are taking shorter showers, flushing the toilets less, and even stopping washing cars. The lush green lawn used to be a pride and joy of the homeowners. Now it only attracts stiff fines. And surprisingly to note, without any rain drops in sight, it was reported on the news that the bylaw did help the water level in many reservoirs stay at an acceptable level.
And I would think garbage and water from our faucet got nothing in common. But here at where we are, we are required to rinse-clean the recyclable containers before they are destined for the recycling bins. Based on my personal observation, this rinsing and cleaning business consumes a lot of water.
I suppose for the sake of saving water, maybe from now on, we should no longer rinse and clean the garbage that are recyclable. - Ayee
