Are we taking it for granted, is playing water fights still acceptable?

water cycle?

You say we use enough to cover our basic needs I'm saying Britain is using water unnecessary through washing cars, water fights which we could do without and can be substituted for something else. you can't just say make water clean and it's fine we pay water companies to purify out water which costs money and energy too, this is about as much as saving costs, limiting environmental damage via CO2 as using water.

i know we can't help other people in other countries get clean water but that doesn't mean we could use our reserve of water to clean cars, water fight do you know what i mean.

it's obvious i didn't quite get my message across accurately and i can't change my poll to reflect on what i meant by wasting clean water. People on here have a different level of understanding about how water is purified, but this was enjoyable up to a certain extent.

Ever waste food? Ever drive or use a car? Ever go to a school for free? Ever go to University? Inevitably if you live in a first world country you're going to be able to do things denied to those in other countries. Also, note that a waterfight doesn't diminish the people who don't have clean water in any way. Britain happens to be a fairly wet country. Just as Egypt won't run short of sand we won't run short of water. But if you didn't use the water for a waterfight it's not as if it would be bottled and sent over to Africa to help out.

the level of water on earth never changes, whether it is in ice, the air, or in the ocean. The glass of water you chuck outside will eventually end up back in your tap (not the exact water particles, but you get what I mean).
