San Francisco’s Municipal railway has shut down hybrid bus service on two lines that run through housing projects in San Francisco’s Hunters Point neighborhood.

According to the company, that means you could make use of the water flowing from any number of sources—including your gutter drains. It is a simple idea, but simple ideas are often the most useful. Plus, you pass off your excessive drinking and overeating as your little way of helping the environment. [Wired via Inhabitat via DVICE]
