Here’s the thing: water isn’t infinite. Even if you live in a rainy city like Seattle, the water in your tap had to travel through pipes, get treated, and be stored. It takes energy, time, and a lot of human effort.
In parts of the world—like California during a drought—1,000 gallons can cost ten times more, or simply not be available. It’s a reminder that water is more than a cheap utility: it’s life in a glass.
Plus, wasting water wastes the energy used to heat it. That’s like throwing a dollar bill into the shower drain with every hot rinse. Ouch.
