    And this is why I often hesitate to add an oposing viewpoint to discussions online.

    I am getting downvoted and called out despite simply answering the question.

    And I absolutely disagree with you on calling it narrow and selfish, thoughtless would be the truth.

    I also disagree with calling it “shitty”, for the most part of my life Sweden has not had a drought, no one has been denied access to water due to my actions.

    So this is also thoughtlessness.

    Now the drought situation in Sweden is changing, and I am keeping track of it, so far I have not yet heard about there being risks of drinking water shortages, if that changes, I will change my behavoir. Until that time I will do what I always do when I am working to change something, I’ll work with it slowly and change behavoirs at a resonable pace.

      Yeah and let me disagree with you both

      • it is unnecessarily wasteful
      • but it’s just a drop in a bucket
      • you have no personal incentive to use less water

      For me the keyword is “unnecessarily “: it never occurred to me to waste water like that. But it’s really not much and I wasted more water in other ways.

      Perhaps we need more expensive water so there is personal incentive to use less
