Watershed consciousness is a form of home awareness.
Inspired, I opened my map of San Francisco to find my own ecological address. So I asked around, and learned that San Francisco's streams are almost all covered up and have become part of the city's combined sewer system. Rainwater falling on my street, I was told, runs down the nearest storm drain and ends up at a sewage treatment plant. I'd been looking forward to an ecological address of a bit more distinction. It must be either the Bay or the ocean.
