CA: Gov. Brown orders mandatory water restrictions (25% reduction statewide)

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

California should ban lawns and golf.

In fact the whole country should ban golf.

I think almonds are an easy target, but if California wants to get serious it will have to look at the beef/dairy industry. Cattle are not an efficient use of water.

Soylent Water is the obvious solution

Why not just ban all agriculture in the state? Problem solved!

Exactly the kind of forward-thinking solutions we need! Preserve the environment and increase efficiency- no more of that wasteful meat, especially!

Tbf, would a decreased amount of meat be such a big ask? Especially as meat substitutes are getting much better nowadays...

I would of course be a massive hhypocrite if I wanted mandatory vegetarianism. But I hardly feel the current Western expectation to have meat every single day is very sustainable - especially with the meats chosen. I'm a still a bio student at the end of the day :/

Yes, sacrificing a few coal mining jobs to the cost of vast reams of people in the developing world is clearly extremely hypocritical of greens...
