Documentary about the impacts of climate change and the shadow of drought that looms over Southern California's imported water supply. #shadowofdrought
“A single wet year, in fact, a SERIES of wet years isn’t enough to solve our water problems…”
We might be finally out of drought in California, but we can’t forget that our fragile water system across the Southwest is always at risk.

New @PacificInstitut report finds that in 2015, 208,000 Californians lacked toilets, while 211,000 lacked hot and cold running water: https://t.co/QOeNyZTQ2c #CAwater#water
Outdoor #irrigation accounts for approximately 60% of urban water consumption in California, so reducing inefficient outdoor use is a key component of many strategies to reduce #urbanwater use: https://t.co/qkWz8hdn7I
Municipal #water is more expensive and more energy-intensive than agricultural water as it has been treated to meet drinking water standards. Efficient use of municipal water can help meet state #waterconservation and greenhouse gas reduction targets: https://t.co/qkWz8hdn7I
Grateful for our amazing run with @PBS and other ed TV stations across America that have now broadcast our film.
Over 2 mos, our film reached a potential audience of almost 29 MILLION households across 30 markets!
That’s 76 MILLION potential viewers over 69 telecasts!! ☺️🙏🏼
It time to CUT THE LAWN - for good. #FoodNotLawns, or low-maintenance native vegetation instead:
"It’s time to culturally stigmatize the classic over-watered, over-fertilized, over-mowed American lawn, a symbol of excess that’s persisted for far too long"
