Stop using potable water to flush sewage into the drains, wash clothes with detergents....there are a great many ways we could reduce our water usage.

We even water golf courses, sports fields etc. with potable water, it's insane.

Problem is, people are just so used to it.

The hotel that my wife works at has its own water supply from springs in the grounds, they use that water in some of the toilets and get complaints that the toilets have a brown stain around the water line, its not the obvious, its the ground water thats doing it and it cant be scrubbed off - they also use it in the jacuzzi's and the swimming pool (after its been tested every day) and get complaints that there is sometimes a very faint brown tinge to it - the water comes off the Yorkshire moors, so yes, it will have some trace elements that get through the filters in it but they are being "Green" and then guests whine about it on Trip Advisor.

We're too soft.

You'll get no disagreement from me about that, way too soft on way too many important things, and yet way to hard on trivial things.

Absolutely agree with you on this.

I often work in a new building that uses 'brown' water to flush the toilets etc. It's extraordinary how many people think, on first seeing that, that it's unhealthy/bad.

It makes absolute sense.

Futher proof of just how caring and sharing Nestlé are:
