I was just doing dishes and thinking about water. We’ve built such efficient systems that as I do dishes it becomes extremely difficult to not take water for granted. Here in Alberta everyone is facing a serious water crisis. Meanwhile everywhere I’ve been I see sprinkler systems fighting diligently to maintain a perfect circle of green in the center of a long brown lawn.
Even as I’m conscious of water and the fact of it’s disappearance, I still find it hard to not leave the tap running. I think I’m just like anyone else, and in the end this leads me to the notion that the only way we’ll slow down, is by a breakdown of our infrastructure, ironically caused in the end by the efficiency of the infrastructure itself.
peace,
