Remembering the fish Growing up, I used to watch “Sesame Street” on TV. I remember, in one episode, a little boy left the water running in his bathroom sink after he had finished brushing his teeth. Then the phone rang. The boy answered, and he realized it was an aggravated fish calling from a nearby lake who complained that the boy was wasting energy and water. The moral: don’t waste resources and energy, and do your part to conserve. This story stuck with me. When I shower, brush my teeth, wash my hands or face, I remember to regulate the amount of water that I use. I don’t let the water run while I’m lathering my hands or face with soap, I don’t let the water run while I brush my teeth, and I don’t take long showers. Every one of us needs to save where we can. And I’m scared to get a phone call from an angry fish complaining that I’m drying up his lake. Sara Odell |
