(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Western cities in drought have figured out how to manage with less water use - amazingly less.
Las Vegas NV has grown since 2002 by 800,000 residents. But at the same time, the city has adapted to the point that it takes care of all these people while actually decreasing the amount of water it uses by 26 billion gallons.
Phoenix AZ's population has doubled since 1980. But the amount of water they use to provide for the needs of all these people has not doubled along with it. On the contrary, water use has decreased by one-third.
Water usage in Albuquerque NM, San Diego CA, Denver CO, and Los Angeles CA is a similar story.
So the take-away is what, that everything will always get better and better? No. It's this: human beings are creative problem solvers. We have it in our nature. We received creativity from our Creator. What we use it for is up to us.
