Water is life. This Emerald Log is a guide to protecting water at every level — at home, in our communities, and at the corporate and policy level. Together, we can save water and hold those who waste it accountable.

💧 Everyday Actions (Home & Neighborhood)

🚿 Shower smart: Shorter showers, low-flow showerheads, and turning off taps while brushing teeth can save hundreds of gallons per month. 🍽️ Reuse water: Collect greywater (from washing fruits/veggies, for example) for gardens. 🌱 Plant drought-friendly gardens: Use native plants, succulents, and cover crops to reduce watering needs. 🪣 Rainwater harvesting: Install rain barrels or small cisterns to collect rainwater for outdoor use. ♻️ Community sharing: Swap excess garden water, plant cuttings, or seeds with neighbors to encourage local sustainability. 💡 Smart appliances: Only run dishwashers and washing machines with full loads, and install efficient faucets.

🌍 Systemic & Community Scale

🏘️ Neighborhood water programs:

Map water use in your neighborhood and identify leaks or inefficient practices.

Organize workshops to teach water-saving techniques.

Advocate for local greywater reuse policies.

🏛️ City-level action:

Pressure local governments to fix old pipes and reduce water loss from infrastructure.

Support city-wide water recycling initiatives for parks, schools, and public buildings.

Encourage municipalities to provide incentives for households that reduce water consumption.

💼 Corporate accountability:

Track which corporations use the most water in your region or globally.

Demand transparency on industrial water use in product supply chains.

Support companies implementing water-saving technologies or recycling wastewater.

Boycott or petition companies that pollute rivers, drain aquifers, or lobby against sustainability regulations.

📢 Policy & Advocacy:

Vote for legislation regulating water-intensive industries, agriculture, and mining.

Push for stricter enforcement against water pollution.

Advocate for equitable water access, especially in marginalized communities.

Support innovation in water-saving tech and community water projects through grants or crowdfunding.

💚 Final Call to Action

Every drop matters, but every voice matters too. Protecting water isn’t just about small changes at home—it’s about mobilizing communities, holding corporations accountable, and shaping policy. 🌊

"Echoes of the Desert: Le Cochon Desséché and Le Bateau Ivre"

In the heart of the desert, where the sun's rays dance, Stands "Le Cochon Desséché" in a mesmerizing trance. A parched pig of stone, under the relentless glare, Its form shaped by the heat, with a stoic air.

Contrasting "Le Bateau Ivre," the drunken boat, This sculpture speaks of aridity, a parched throat. A commentary on imagination's sway, In the unforgiving desert, where dreams decay.

Yet, amidst the shimmering heat and shifting sand, There lies a deeper truth, waiting to be scanned. For in this barren landscape, where life seems bleak, Resides a beauty, elusive yet unique.

The parched pig and the drunken boat, they say, Are symbols of a journey, come what may. They remind us of the fragility of our plight, In the vast expanse of the desert's light.
