What do you think of UGA’s water conservation plan?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On Friday, UGA —the biggest water customer in Athens-Clarke County— announced its recommendations on how to conserve water and reduce its use.
From eliminating automatic flushing toilets and urinals to investigating installation of hand sanitizers in bathrooms, the university hopes to reduce its water consumption by 25 percent in the short term. Also on the list: using towels in its Ramsey Center, a massive physical fitness facility and harvesting and using rainwater as much as possible.
Are these things you would ever consider in your home, work? And, perhaps the most-important question: will it work?
