How dissapointing, I thought for sure when I saw Fotze post My wifes grandma... in this thread, that it would be about someone drinking her grandma's urine.
I have a question though. While I am not arguing against the fact that there must be environmental benefits to using less water. ie, less energy used to treat water, less water diverted from natural sources,etc.
Is there a benefit to the net amount of water that is available in an ecosystem by using less water. I would think that water used in a shower would eventually find its way back into the lakes and streams through drainage and condensation, etc. It is not like you are consuming the water and turning it into something else that is not water. It is still water when you're done with it.
