持続可能なことを一つ一つ実践したい

　資源や自然環境を保ちながらの生活は尊い、と私は感じてます。これは持続可能ということで英語ではsustainableというようです。ご覧の通り、最近の春雨で車庫の屋根に降った水を溜めてます。元々は今は亡き両親が戦争中に使った防火用水で、平和な時代にあっては私が植物の水遣りに使ってます。もちろん防火用水でもあります。

　この他、やはり両親の時代から井戸があり、こちらも私の毎朝の日課である庭のすべての植物への水遣りに使ってます。蛇口を捻れば無尽蔵に出てくる水は使えば使うほど良い水になります。

　防火用水も井戸水も水道代が掛からず、何か得してる気持ちになります。私はケチなのでしょうか、しかし、地球によいことをしてるつもりです。

 Human's living while preserving resources and the natural environment is precious I think. This seems to be sustainable in English. As you can see, the water that has fallen on the roof of the garage due to the recent spring rain is collected. Originally it was used by my late parents during the World War Ⅱ, but in peaceful times I use it for watering plants . Of course, it is also fire protection water.

 In addition, there has been a well since my parents' days, which I also use to water all the plants in the garden, which is my daily routine. The more I use the water that comes out inexhaustibly when I twist the faucet, the more the water becomes better.

　There is no water bill for both fire prevention water and well water, and it makes me feel I'm getting something. Am I stingy? But I'm going to do something good for the planet.
