Yeah I’ll not be guilted into the notion at saving SECONDS of residential water use has any impact on climate. Water savings by industrial process and unmanaged municipal leaks are much higher on the list. The seconds of reduced residential use are less than a “drop in the bucket”
Caveats being I don’t live in a drought striken area, I don’t take overly long showers to begin with, and my utility bills are a non issue financially.
By that logic nobody has to do anything, because you can always find someone who has a higher impact that should start first.
Why stop driving my petrol car, trucks or container ships have a much higher impact
Why stop flying around the globe for no particular reason, Taylor Swift should stop
Why should I start energy saving, cryptominers should stop
Don’t get me wrong, you leaving the shower on for 10s longer than necessary will not be the end of the world. It’s just this mentality of: I am pro climate change (policies) as long as I don’t have to change anything about my own life, that you can hear way to often.
Some water systems have an insane amount of leaks. One house I lived in, the water and sewer plants were owned by the HOA. They estimated that they lost 75% of the water to leaks.
