Your Wartime Duty! Don't Waste Water
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A poignant reminder of the importance of water conservation during wartime, as depicted in this vintage poster from the New York City Department of Water Supply, Gas & Electricity. Dated between 1941 and 1943, this poster underscores the significance of preserving this precious resource during a time when the country was in the midst of a global conflict. The image features a determined man in work clothes, holding a mug to his lips as he takes a much-needed drink. But instead of letting the water run long and wastefully from the tap, he has filled his container from an icebox, a clever and efficient solution to save water. The poster's bold, graphic design, with its stark contrasts and bold text, effectively conveys the message of conservation and the importance of each individual's contribution to the war effort. The poster is a testament to the collective consciousness of the time, when every citizen was encouraged to do their part in the war effort, from rationing resources to working in factories and growing victory gardens. The Department of Water Supply, Gas & Electricity's campaign was part of a larger effort by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to create public service announcements that would inspire and inform the American people. This poster is not only a historical artifact, but also a reminder of the power of individual actions to make a difference, even in the face of great challenges. It is a call to remember that water is a finite resource, and that every drop counts. Let us honor the sacrifices of those who came before us by continuing to conserve water in our own lives, and passing on this important message to future generations.
