And then feel guilty for wasting so much water.
I want to nitpick the definition of “waste” for a moment. Yes, you are using a lot of water, and energy if the water is heated, BUT if you’re getting something remotely positive out of it (and you’re paying for it), then I would not consider it wasteful. If you genuinely want to label it as something, then let’s compromise and call it therapeutic. Deal?
Unless you're in California or any other area with a low water table. Then it's a huge issue.
Compare this person’s shower to the many farms growing almonds in the same state.
You are right
At the same time
I can’t whataboutism limited resources
Abolish almonds
Just abolished a bag this morning.
If I was Governor of California I'd push to make it so Almonds and Alfalfa can't be grown during the drought seasons.
I can live without a legume and I don't think I know a single person in my entire circle's circles who has eaten alfalfa.
The alfalfa isn't for humans, it's for high intensity dairy and cattle farming.
It sucks that this is practically occult information. People have no understanding of the damage they do.
Yup, it’s just beef, cheese and milk. Though if you can find them without e.coli their sprouts are good on sandwiches too.
