We can make our landscapes more reflective, the aesthetic, more reflective of where we live.

But we also don't have to feel that we need to rip out all of our grass in order to save water.

Because we can actually save quite a lot of water.

And we've shown that time.

use by up to 50% by doing things like irrigation evaluations, transitioning to lower water

on your monthly bills, and that is outdoor water use.

It's often our biggest household use, and yet as much as 60% of that water never nourishes a single plant.

Water is wasted through invisible leaks, broken sprinklers, and outdated schedules that run regardless of whether or not the soil needs

it. Multiply that across a neighborhood. Multiply that again across a city. And we're talking about

millions of gallons wasted fresh water each and every year. And all of this despite drought,

despite heat and growing water scarcity. To help us

understand this challenge and the surprisingly simple steps that can make a massive difference,
