Totally terrifying article on water resources!
So, I have a work around for some of this issue.....the US and their so called, "efficiency" appliances, light bulbs faucet filters etc., are supposedly designed so we won't waste water. In my experience, if I don't have water pressure to rinse off my tooth brush, I have to run the water longer ...thankfully, I have my cheat which is an ultrasonic machine for toothbrushes and retainers, but the point is, I'm running water longer to rinse, and then I'm using more electricity to sterilize my brushes. That doesn't make sense to me? Then if I want hot water, when I turn on the hot water faucet, I have to run the hot water for a bit to get hot water, because there's a flow valve in the faucet and now I just wasted water. On washing machines, "they" made them efficient again, by using less water, but are you really getting your laundry cleaned? I say no, and I purposely do more smaller washers because
I like clean. Apparently, our illustrious administration plans to tinker with washing machines water level efficiencies again, HVAC and gas stoves now. I'm all for being the best earth stewards, but I'd prefer common sense solutions rather then restrictions. Yep, I'm frustrated and rambled.
