"True progress actually solves problems. Most of what is commonly 
called "progress"
  is relocation of problems out of sight in space or time"

	Our goal is to live really well, on a small amount of 
well-managed resources, and help others do the same, says Ecological 
Systems Designer and Greywater specialist Art Ludwig.

	On Monday, August 3, at 7pm, World-renowned integrated 
systems designer, educator and researcher Art Ludwig will explain the 
big picture advantages of integrated design, give specifics of what 
systems that enable Santa Barbarans to live better on 80% less 
resources would look like, and discuss options for removing 
institutional barriers to sustainability

  The greywater regulation revolution was started in 1989 in Santa 
Barbara, California. It spread from there to four other communities, 
then the whole state, via the Uniform Plumbing Code, in 1992.

With the recent California Governor's Schwarzenegger  Emergency 
proclamation of a statewide water shortage state of emergency in 
February 2009/ California Water Emergency Provisions and Executive 
Order S-06-08/ 06/04/2008 and water districts like the DWP in Los 
Angeles ordering a 20% cut in water use.  It is time to make your 
landscape reflect the changes needed in the future of water use and 
global changes that effect us in our own back yards.

DWR releases California Drought, An Update, June 2009
  As part of its committment to Gov. Schwarzenegger, DWR has released 
the June 2009 California Drought Update, which monitors and reports 
on the current water supply impacts and conditions of California's 
drought
