California is entering another year of drought and many of us within the state are taking necessary steps to conserve water. Taking shorter showers, washing cars less, leaving swimming pools empty, letting our lawns go brown, all to conserve the small amount of water this area has.

"Slide the City" is a company based out of Salt Lake City, Utah, and plans to have these slide events in 15 cities throughout California in 2015. On their website, www.slidethecity.com, there is no explanation for how much water will be used per event nor does the company make any attempt to explain where the water will come from.

The cities, counties, and suburbs listed in California per "Slide The City" are as follows:



Oakland

San Jose

San Luis Obispo

Sacramento

Santa Cruz

San Francisco

Bakersfield

San Bernardino

Fresno

Los Angeles

San Diego

Orange County

San Rafael

Vallejo

Hollywood

This is just the beginning. Please share this petition and use #STOPTHESLIDE



STOP SLIDE THE CITY NOW!!!
