I never used to do it either, but after coming to China and realizing that the majority of Chinese do it, it seems almost non-sensical to not do it. My wife even takes it steps further, using the water that drains out of the washing machine every time you do a load of laundry to wash the balcony, floor, etc. There is so many ways we waste water it's astounding! Sometimes I think my wife is crazy, but in reality if everyone did what she does the world would be far better off long term.

Hmmm
But the water doesn't disappear. Once it goes down the drain it isn't like it can never be used again.
Conserving water saves the amount of work the treatment facilities need to do. If everyone conserves water, the water plants and waste treatment plants don't need to work as hard, which saves energy, capacity costs, etc.
I'm sure you know that, but you post just makes it sound like once someone wastes water, that water is gone forever. It isn't.
