Regarding the backlash on the #alsIceBucketChallenge referencing water conservation: If you are being vocal on how this challenge is wasting water, make sure that you are NOT doing the following: - taking showers over 5 minutes in length - leaving the water running while you brush your teeth - leaving the water running while you lather up your hands when you wash them - flushing the toilet even when all you did was pee - leaving the water running while you scrub your dishes - leaving a leaky faucet or sink go for weeks/months on end without fixing it - leaving your toilet run without fixing it or checking it for leaks If you do any of these things, you have likely wasted several gallons of water, significantly more than any one individual is wasting by dumping a bucket of water on their head. Im not perfect at making sure I dont do any of these either, but Im working on it, it takes time to develop new habits. so before you give someone shit for participating in what is arguably one of the most successful awareness/fundraising campaigns in ages, maybe consider your own habits and actions if you really do feel that strongly about water conservation. for more information on how to conserve water in your home/apartment and daily routine: saveourh20.org/ or watch the delightful video you may remember from your childhood.
