Celine Dion and Tiger Woods Big Water Wasters

Since water has been on my mind lately (could have something to do with moving to Portland this past year), I came across this article today about a community in Treasure Coast (Palm Beach, Florida area) that are excessive, did I say EXCESSIVE, water wasters! Yikes, I thought my shower experiment proved me to be a waster...... here are the quick facts:

• Martin County's coastline residents use up to 1.6 million gallons of water a month. That is 250 times more than the average resident in that county.
• The Top water waster for the past 12 months (since March) went to Celine Dion's management company. Renlec Management. How much did they use in one year? aprox. 6.5 million gallons!
• Tiger Wood's estate used aprox 3.7 million gallons that year
• Mike Kittredge, founder of Yankee Candle Company, used less water, only 151,000 gallons PER MONTH

Clearly, this is not only a waste of water, but just think of what kind of money these people are spending on their water bills....... Tiger couldn't that money go to better use?
