OT - saving the environment
One example comes to mind. Flow restrictors on faucets.
Supposing I'm washing the car. I need five gallon bucket, half full of hot water and soap. If I half-fill the bucket off unrestricted faucet, it half-fills in about a minute. And suppose I half-fill the bucket on a sink that's got a 1.5 gallon per minute aerator, on it. It takes much longer to half-fill the bucket. Now, for 10 bonus points, and one letter grade increase. How much water was saved by using the flow restricted faucet, and waiting several minutes to half-fill the bucket? And how much extra did that flow restricted faucet cost me, to install? -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. |
