Our home was the first home in our neighborhood to embrace the brown and stop watering our lawn! This was an easy first step to make and will help us transition to a dry landscaped environment with native plant species.

Hello Natalia, I believe your conservation efforts and plan of action for California is fantastic! Keep it up! Thanks to your advice my family has now switched to more vegetarian options instead of beef, and reduced our milk consumption greatly!

I've stopped watering the lawn, I take shorter showers, and I eat less red meat since it takes a huge amount of water to raise a cow. That's too great a price for a steak.
