North Carolina is taking this more seriously than us


(via AWS reader Vince) North Carolina is facing similar issues as us in this drought, but they seem to be doing a better job of cutting back on their usage.

According to this article, North Carolina has cut its water usage by about 30%.  This is short of the 50% reduction that Governor Mike Easley was aiming for, but it’s much better than the 9% reduction (which is 15-20% if you just want to make up some numbers) that we’ve seen from metro Atlanta.

We need to start stepping up.
