Conservation Quiz Answer

What happened to the California couple who scaled back their watering during the states's drought?

All is revealed in the photo below:

Three things. 1. The correct answer to yesterday's quiz was 'D'. (We have a winner and a California committee is - right now - determining if there will be a prize or not.)

2. If you live in California and are under emergency orders to conserve water it is still okay to water your lawn. In fact, you'll be slapped w warnings if you don't. Similarly, in Canada, if you hear the water level in the Great Lakes is declining, one should continue to water lawns thoroughly, wash cars with lots of soap (then rinse), fill swimming pools right to the top, take lengthy showers, flush twice, and stock up on bottled water. Everything's fine. We'll just create more fresh water.

And 3, the news clip left me with questions. Are there other barriers to conservation of vital and limited resources, e.g., water, fossil fuels, peace on earth? Do such barriers constitute a Catch-22 or Catch-44?
