Girl Scouts promote water conservation in cookie boxes

The San Diego County Water Authority is certainly being creative in getting it’s message out to area residents; first it was door hangers that neighbors could put on water waster’s doorknobs, and now this, from the Del Mar Times:

About 400,000 cards with tips on how San Diego residents can conserve water will be distributed inside boxes of Girl Scout cookies over the next three weeks, it was announced Friday.

The notices, inside boxes for home delivery and booth sales, are intended to remind residents the region faces a water crisis, according to the San Diego County Water Authority.

“Our region faces likely water supply shortages,” the notice reads. “This is due to drought and regulatory restrictions on imported water.”

The fliers offer eight tips for conserving water, ranging from adjusting sprinklers and installing “smart” irrigation systems to washing only full loads of clothing and fixing leaky toilets.
