So I run every day, and every day I see people with sprinklers in their front lawn watering the sidewalk.

Although I will complain that it is a bit annoying having to run in the street because I don't want to get soaking wet, the bigger problem in my eyes is the water loss.

I hope that most people are aware of the amount of water that we waste, and how important it really is to our survival. According to WWF, 1/3 of the world is experiencing water shortages. ONE THIRD.

Then why are we wasting water on the sidewalk??

I understand that people want a nice looking yard and that most sprinklers rotate so that they eventually end up hitting sidewalk, but can't there be a more efficient way?

Well I figured there had to be, so I did some research and I found this great website...

I am not saying to not water your lawn, but I just want people to be more aware. Don't mindlessly set up your sprinkler system in a place that gets 50% lawn, 50% sidewalk.

Also of course, on the topic, it is important to note how often lawns actually need to be watered. Maybe you can water it less and get the same results, while also saving the planet.

This was just a friendly note to be aware of our hurting environment.
