Last week, former movie star and current California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger officially declared that his state was in a drought and threatened to ration water to cities if conservation efforts were not increased. The New York Times reported:

The declaration comes after the driest California spring in 88 years, with runoff in river basins that feed most reservoirs at 41 percent of average levels. It stops short of a water emergency, which would probably include mandatory rationing.

Efforts to capture water have also been hampered by evaporation of some mountain snowpacks that provide water, an effect, state officials say, of global climate change.

Governor  has stated that addressing California’s water shortage is one of his top priorities while in office.

He also took a step last week to address global warming by adding his support to the TOGETHER anti-climate change campaign, an effort which hopes to demonstrate that individual energy-saving action, when added to the actions of millions of other people, really adds up to savings “for our planet – and your wallet.”

Interested? Go to TOGETHER.com and add your name and your actions to the Togetherizer, a tool that goes live today (June 10) and is going to try to calculate the emissions savings generated by each solution offered by the site and used by its participants.

I, for one, am curious to see how this all add up.
