WWW 2008

Not what you think. WWW stands for World Water Week. This week is World Water Week. At least for me it almost went completely unrecognized. Thankfully it did not.

If you are like me, you have more than one pair of this very water expensive pair garment. Now think about how often it has been cleaned in your washer ...

Searching for more information about water consumption and denim jeans I found this link.

Here are a few tips to conserve water in your (my) daily life. Or check the homepage of your local utility provider.
