Not true... there is still exactly the same quantity of water
available as when this planet was created... it's not possible to
waste water. It is possible to waste protoplasm, BAR screw.

Depends where in the world you live. Down here in NZ there's a drought
in the north, but plenty of water in my town. Not using it will just
lead to reservoirs overflowing out to the sea.

For me, not watering lawns is a waste of a valuable resource, the lawn!

In DC I watered my lawn one summer, 1992, it cost me about $400 in water
charges. I called the water company and asked them about it and they
said that the cost was 1/3 coming in and 2/3 going out and that I could
get a meter put on my sewer line for about $1200 dollars. I learned
about grass cycle. And I donated $100 per year to the local VFD.

If they did that, where would Obama get all his campaign money?
