    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.
