-Any thoughts you have on this issue? My topic is water conservation so, if possible, please focus your comments on this topics.

I know that much of Calgary has no meters so water conservation is less important to the average Calgarian, but that's not relevant to my topic.

Thanks.
I try my best (recycle anything that can be recycled - pop cans, paper, electronics, etc, only use the dish washer when its completely full, take the stairs instead of the elevator if its less then 5 floors and I try to bike whenever possible (i.e. within 6km). One thing I do admit is I do like long showers from time to time.

My roommate is really bad about recycling, and when I mentioned it once or twice he just blew it off and said whatever. He throws out paper, soup cans, and will turn on the dish washer with a few plates and forkes in it. Sort of annoys me.
