[QUOTE="Pirate700"][QUOTE="H8sMikeMoore"]i leave it running. Why? Because it dosent matter.Piesics
You're right. It really doesn't matter. People get too worked up over wasting water when it really is impossible. Water going down your drain or down the toilet doesn't make is disappear down a black whole. It eventually finds it's way into a body of water (not clean) and get's evaporated into the air and rained back down and redistributed. Wasting water is just another scare-tactic like global warming. :| Water shortages are real.
Thank you Piesics.
Pirate700, H8sMikeMoore, come on down to Australia, and tell its citizens wasting water doesnt matter..
You say it goes back to the sea, and then salt and other things are removed by evaporation, which is true. But what happens when you dont get any rain? Global Warming is questionable, but Droughts definately do happen, even if they dont personally affect you. And what about when the equilibrium is broken, and water wastage from an overpopulated country outweighs the amount of rain they get? Could be a problem there...
Ill leave you with a quote from Piesics article:
"By far the largest part of Australia is desert or semi-arid lands commonly known as the outback. In June 2008 it became known that an expert panel had warned of long term, maybe irreversible, severe ecological damage for the whole Murray-Darling basin if it does not receive sufficient water by October.[28]Water restrictions are currently in place in many regions and cities of Australia in response to chronic shortages resulting from drought. The Australian of the year 2007, environmentalist Tim Flannery, predicted that unless it made drastic changes, Perth in Western Australia could become the world's first ghost metropolis, an abandoned city with no more water to sustain its population.[29]"
