SAGE News Clips: Drought ShamingDescription: During the 2015 California drought, residents "drought shame" neighbors and complete strangers for using water after Governor Jerry Brown mandated an overall 25 percent reduction in water use. In the exclusive Beverly Hills neighborhood, Tony Corcoran posts videos on Twitter and YouTube to call out those violating the water ban.
