Or like telling folks in California to stop watering their lawns and take shorter showers when there's a water shortage. BUT keeping the focus on personal responsibility rather than industry is the name of the game.

Yeah, 90% of it is industry and growing stuff in a desert, but those people watering their roses is the problem. Lol it's more of the elite making sure they get their profits while blaming the general public and also pushing the cost to them.

This us a faulty analogy. In the case of the atmosphere we all share it and it blows around all over the world. In the case of domestic water distribution systems, the water system that supplies your garden hose and the one that supplies orchards and fields are completely distinct, unconnected, and not interchangeable. If your local California water utility is running low on water there is nothing that an almond grower in Fresno County can do for you.
