Did you know? October 15 is Blog Action Day, an annual event that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day with the aim of sparking a global discussion and driving collective action. This year that issue is our favorite here at Mono Lake: water.

We think about water every day here at the Mono Lake Committee. We watch how much water is flowing toward Los Angeles, and how much is flowing into Mono Lake. We talk about how to adjust those flows to benefit the recovering creeks. We visit the lakeshore to measure the water level of Mono Lake.

Because we watch the water that nourishes Mono Lake, that means we watch water in other ways as well. We watch the bottles we put our drinking water in. We watch the filter on our sink to be sure we aren’t wasting any water. We water the garden judiciously by hand. We watch for organic cotton T-shirts for our store, grown with much less water than conventional cotton.

Watch the Mono-logue today for our contributions to the worldwide discussion about water. And chime in in the comments section—we’d love to hear your voice!
