Residents of a Southern California neighborhood are concerned about the fact that the water flowing out of the taps in their homes is the color black. That’s right; the water coming out of their faucets is indeed black — not gray, not cloudy — but black. Inky, opaque black water that the water company says is okay to drink.
California has experienced a drought. Of course 1000 years ago it was a desert. Since declaring an emergency, water use has dropped 9%…9%? Oh well, it won’t affect me. I’ve been struggling with cold and snow.
Think the drought in California isn’t a problem for you? Guess where our fruits and vegetables come from.
-99 percent of the artichokes
-44 percent of asparagus
-two-thirds of carrots
-half of bell peppers
-89 percent of cauliflower
-94 percent of broccoli
-95 percent of celery
-90 percent of the leaf lettuce
-83 percent of Romaine lettuce
-83 percent of fresh spinach
-a third of the fresh tomatoes
-86 percent of lemons
-90 percent of avocados
-84 percent of peaches
-88 percent of fresh strawberries
-97 percent of fresh plums
California is turning into a desert
Sadly, it's much easier to create a desert than a forest.
