Betty Fraga: The value of doing something in a crisis

For all who protest to making efforts to conserve water, and who point the finger toward others, I offer the words of Edward Everett Hale:

I am only one,

But still I am one.

I cannot do everything.

But still I can do something;

And because I cannot do everything

I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Betty Fraga, Modesto
