Water wastage?

With all the concern over the environment lately, Is it really nessessary to waste water after using the washroom? I mean if you just take the UK 60 million people, wash hands an average of three times a day, say a litre/wash That's 180 million litres a day. Urine has no bacteria in it, you see articles about tests on food from fast food places and restraunts with fecal matter and sh*t in it(no pun intended), so has not washing your hands after you pee ever killed anyone, with the environmental issues of today, should we not re-evaluate this washing all the time, same goes for showering every day, some people twice a day, isn't this just a waste of water, I mean with all the hose pipe bans and earth warming as fast as it is, should we not conserve every last drop?

BTW I wash my hands after I use the toilet and shower every day, but I don't fall for the whole global warming propaganda either.

Answer:
Water doesn't disappear after it comes out of your faucet... It's generally treated and returned to the water supply. Whatever is lost to evaporation will rain back down eventually. "Wasting water" is really a falsehood. What's really ruining our water supplies is pollution from irresponsible farming and industry, heavy metals and nitrates being the most dangerous and difficult to remove pollutants.

There are times when certain water supplies run low... But, that would probably happen regardless of if we used the water and dumped it back in or not... More of a city planning / insufficient water storage problem than an environmental one...

Countries like China pollute the water and are one of the major world problems with regard to greenhouses gases and they care little how it affects the rest of the world. It is a major reason for the droughts in North China and the flooding in South China.. China has neither the money nor the expertise to deal with environmental problems it creates.

i'm yet to be convinced about global warming. its all down to nature.

We have to find ways to help conserve our precious water and it start's with you. What are you doing in your home to save water?
