I live in California, where we have a drought. Yet I get water automatically delivered to my table at restaurants. Which brings me to this week’s Sensible Saturday hint.
Even if you aren’t living in drought conditions, you know that water–especially clean drinking water–is too precious to waste. If water just shows up at your table, suggest to the restaurant manager that patrons be asked first if they want it so that water is not wasted. Remind him that it isn’t just the un-drunk water in the glass, but the water it takes to clean and sanitize that glass. You can also make this suggestion on those comment cards or spaces for comments on your bill.
