On the billboard a guy is looking at grass with a magnifying glass.
The billboard identifies the guy as The Lawn Whisperer and has him saying, "Looks like another victim of overwatering."
At the bottom of the billboard there is a website address, SaveNorthTexasWater.com.
Going to the website you meet The Lawn Whisperer again. You are directed to select the city you live in. I selected Fort Worth.
Selecting Fort Worth brought me to SaveTarrantWater.com, where I was advised to save water because nothing can replace it.
More important water information from Save Tarrant Water...
It's a drought out there.
Texas is experiencing the worst drought in more than half a century. No rain means our water supplies are taking a hit - outdoor watering plays a big role in how fast they go. When the combined storage capacity of TRWD reservoirs reaches 75%, TRWD will require it's municipal customers to initiate Stage 1 of its drought plan. The primary way to stretch our supplies and save water will be to limit outdoor watering to no more than twice per week. And although many of you do water efficiently, there are some who don't. Now is a good time to start. Thanks.
I wonder how many Lawn Whisperer billboards grace the Tarrant County landscape? I wonder how much the billboard ads cost? How much has been spent on the Save Texas Water websites? The Lawn Whisperer is also on Facebook.
How many gallons of water has all this propaganda saved?
No where in The Lawn Whisperer propaganda did I see mention made of the millions of gallons of water being taken from the Texas water supply by Barnett Shale Natural Gas Drillers.
Not only are millions of gallons of water being used to Frack wells, that water does not return to the water supply.
Plus, there have been instances where the Barnett Shale Natural Gas Drilling has contaminated the water supply of multiple hapless victims.
So, really, how much is all this water propaganda costing? How many gallons of water are alleged to be wasted by overwatering? Compared to the many gallons of water wasted by Fracking?
Regardless, on my route to work, there is a house that has had its sprinklers going every single day I have ever passed by. How do I know? The sprinklers go clear out to the middle of the street. Sprinkle if you want, but keep it off the road if you sprinkle every day!
ReplyDeletePerplexing, ain't it?
ReplyDeleteMy lawn is not the same color as the lawn the Whisperer is examining. I would just pave it and paint it green except that the runoff would cause the mighty Trinity to spill over its banks and flood all of downtown Fort Worth, leading to a massive flood control project to be rammed through Congress!
ReplyDeleteWho is paying for this "nonprofit" waste?
