 | Local High School Students Star in Water Conservation Campaign |
| | This summer’s conservation campaign is based on 3 commercials created by former Dos Pueblos and Cabrillo High School students which were selected from the past 10 years of the Santa Barbara County Water Awareness High School Video Contest. “Hank, the Model Citizen” shows us how easy it is to save water and money, “Water Boy” finds practical ways to use wasted water, and the rappers of “H2 Oh Yeah” rap about indoor and outdoor water conservation. Watch the videos on the link above!
