Lol this is getting an eco site?
What about joining vote now. Since many governements (i.e. in Italy) are in severe delay in maintaining the supply network and in certain regions 90% of the water is lost befor it reaches the consumer.

I sadly live in an area of the wold where it rains.. so conserving water would be futile..

Nothing has turned out as we expected. It never does. Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we get and are thankful it's no worse than it is.

Mark, am I wrong or Tony Blair suggested not to pull the water at the toilet when you did only urinate?
So the argument came up in Britain. (Wonder whether they disinfected the toilet in Downing Street number 10, LOL) After all this makes me think of "Train Spotting" when the guy claims to be in the "worst loo of all Scottland", if I do well recall.

You guys having a drought or something?

My area has absolutely no shortage of water. It isn't like we're mining water out of the ground and we have limited resources. Whether we use it or not, it still ends up in the oceans or lakes as water.

Now, conserving water in a place that has actual shortages of fresh water makes sense, but that doesn't seem to apply to most of us.
