I try to conserve water, people laugh?

Question

OK i make sure all my showers are about 3 minutes. Unless a deep wash of my hair takes about 10 minutes.

I tell my friends that whenever i shower i think of people who dont have access to water (its true) and they laugh! I tell them to preserve water its a precious thing and we're running out of it.

I am trying really hard to shorten my showers, and limit the amount of water i waste. I tell my parents to save water they dont listen much.

Am i doing the right thing or should i stop?

Conserving water is a good habit & many environmentalist asses that by 2045 there will be water strech condtion on this earh.Out of the 100% of the ater 97 % os out of reach of human & is not suitable for human consumtion so just 3% of the ater on this earh is supporting the total human population & some or the ohet way this proportion had to be resized & its we who should be redy to bite the bullet. Many environmetalist belive that the glaciers & ice fed rivers now are facing serious threat due to global warming & are on a verge of extinction.LAst year Murray & Darling basin of Australia were under feed & these reiver coldn't just flow to meet the ocean.This was a first recorded incident in Australia that the main river basin in their country was under feed & due to this many lowlying ares were under drought condition & wheat production was at a all time low.

So we must seriously think about conserving water or else face the danger of a wra on water & drought.

Answer 10

I think that's a great thing you're doing- convserving water. If anything, try to encourage more people to do the same. You'll get people thinking and they might even try it. Don't worry about their laughter. Don't only focus on showers though, add in that turning off the faucet while they brush their teeth is helpful too. Also washing dishes, cars, plants/grass, etc.

Answer 11

Don't listen to them, you are a good person and doing what is right. You are definitly doing the right thing, your parents and friends are just being silly. I'm the same way! Don't worry.
