As we know. California has been hit with fire, drought and even [El Niño](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/01/lets-talk-about-el-nino-with-el-nina/)
back when. California is one place that is being stricken. Especially California
this winter. However, the anticipated precipitation won’t be enough to overcome 
the severe drought plaguing the state.

Consumers must also continue to be steadfast in their water conservation habits 
and even small changes. Especially like washing jeans less. Because it can result
in big savings.

Consequently, Levi Strauss & Co. published an infographic exploring this theme.

liters of water. That’s as well as significant energy and cost savings.

Finally, the infographic provides tips from Levi Strauss & Co., on how consumers
can reduce water and climate change impact. In conclusion it also dives into some

There’s no way of ignoring it: California is still in a state of drought. Earlier
this month, the U.S. Drought Monitor released a report stating the California reservoir
storage is the “second lowest on record” for this time of year.

The good news is there may be a bit of relief in sight, as the National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration’s most recent forecast predicts a strong El Niño 
is likely to bring [heavy rain](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/02/violent-japanese-rainstorms-caused-mammoth-devastation/)
to the drought-stricken state this winter. But don’t give up those short showers
just yet!

The anticipated precipitation likely won’t be enough to overcome the severe drought
plaguing the state. That means California residents must continue to be steadfast
in their water conservation habits, even if it’s raining outside.

 shows the vast amounts of water, energy and money that could have been saved over
the past for years if everyone wearing Levi’s® jeans in California had taken our
consumer care recommendations for washing and drying their pants. Small, simple 
changes, like washing less, washing cold and line drying, add up to big savings.
