Commercial to save water
Interestingly, i was hoping to write this in a story, however I got scooped. Its fine since what I wanted to say is for a good cause and I am glad someone said it.
I was in the movie theater the other day, and what I thought was a trailer for a scary movie started up, it turned out it was a commercial for something simple- saving water when brushing your teeth.
People (me included) often leave the tap running when brushing their teeth, many thoughts seems to justify this behvior (i wont be brushing that long, the sink can get clean in the meantime, the water will be the right temperature when I am finished, etc. etc..). There is NO reason not to TURN OFF the tap when brushing. The amount of water this simple excercise would save is unsurmountable. Since all of this wasted water is drinking water, it would probably be enough to quench several thirsty people on a hot day of drought. Think about it, the same goes for wasting water in the shower, and flushing toilets too much. Read more about low flow shower heads, and low flush toilets. In Europe, its possible to buy toilets with a half and full flush system which saves water.
