    It’s not about conservation. It’s just, why have the water running when you brush your teeth? I wet the toothbrush, brush my teeth, then rise the toothbrush. What do you need water for while you’re brushing?

      Flip the script. Why bother turning the water off? I’ve never lived in a place where water conservation makes any difference at all. My ex-wife and I would drain and fill the 30,000 gallon pool for an extra $10 a month.

      If you’re in the American West, conservation is a big deal. Here in NW Florida, no one gives a shit because we have all the water we can use for damned near free.

        Because I don’t need it. Electricity is very cheap where I live… doesn’t mean I leave the lights on when I’m not in a room.

        I don’t leave the oven on all the time in case I want to bake something quickly, either. And that would actually save time, unlike running water while brushing teeth.
