Aussies suggest a water savings Valentines Day
In Queensland, Australia, where potable water is at a premium, the suggestion has been made on how to save some on Valentines Day.
The suggestion comes from Water Minister Henry Palaszczuk whose idea is to save water by not buying traditional roses, which need to be watered, but instead to give a gift of a water saving shower rose.
Palaszczuk went on to say that the savings in water and water energy costs would be significant. He said, "the new shower rose will pay for itself as well as buy a bunch of flowers, chocolates and possibly a romantic dinner for two on St Valentine's Day next year with the money saved," as reported by The Sydney Morning Herald.
