Pictures coming in from the waterfront. Piers in Hoboken (one of my favorite attractions) have water nearly breaching or coming over top. These pictures were taken nearly a half hour ago.

Water the Trees

Million Trees NYC says: Trees need 15-20 gallons of water per week, especially during the hot summer months! Here are some tips to help you provide libation for our leafy friends during the summer season.

  • Be sure to remove weeds from your tree pits! Weeds not only compete with the tree for precious water, but they can also block rain water from getting into the soil.
  • Don’t let that leaking shower, bathtub, or sink water go to waste!Capture it into a container or bucket and use it for watering trees.
  • Capture spontaneous drips of water from air conditioners and dehumidifiers! These droplets may annoy you, but trees can use them. Capture this water into a container for watering small trees.
  • Trees helping trees! Spread fallen leaves or wood chips (free from your local tree removal company) around the base of the tree to conserve water and to keep the soil cool and wet.

    What's in your glass of water?

    nice overview and blog of water as it relates to marketing and personal consumption. As I write this - I realize how odd it is for water to be talked about in terms of marketing and personal consumption - must be the worlds most important commodity.
