environment / Raleigh Low blow to low flow
Posted by Lisa Sorg @lisasorg on Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 9:53 AM
NC State University students are allegedly damaging low-flow faucets and showers installed earlier this year to conserve water. WRAL.com quotes senior Christine Fischer as saying:
"They're trying to make it more efficient, but I don't think that they think about the fact we're taking longer showers because the water pressure is low."
Mother Jones' latest Student Activism Survey showing that 29 percent of students polled said global warming and the environment were among their most important issues.
Guess the NC State students are in the other 71 percent.
