Yes, for those of us who are apparently more fortunate, survival and need are not our gods. It is convenience which we worship.
But we must all work at motivating ourselves to keep trying to be less wasteful, and needlessly so.
And the battle, like charity, as some less than charitable people seem never tired of telling us, begins at home.
We should continue to work at not using as much water as we in the more affluent and waster abundant regions of the world tend to do.
It is not sufficient to see the fact that we pay for the water, as giving us licence to waste it.
Since in the course of time, future generations might be deprived of it or have insufficient quantity of it, because of us wasting it. The same goes positive changes we can make in the kitchen.
Take for example, cooking, and, for those of us who are carnivores, managing or reducing our intake of animal fat.
Our meat is pumped, infused with loads of water. Which means that you most probably pay a higher price for the water which the meat processors pump into it.
And, as if having to contend with paying more for you meat because of the added water, is not bad enough.
You, us the consumers, must also contend with the unhealthy added fat in our meat, as well as with the other relative poisons.
To be continued!
