How much water would I have to waste to see the polar bear maul the water carrier child to get his water?

As another poster pointed out just because I have the shower running to warm up while I brush my teeth at the sink it doesn't stop being water. We have the amount of water on Earth that we had 1000 years ago.

When will enviro ehacks learn that when water goes down the drain, it does not cease to be WATER? It does not leave the earth. It simply is RECYCLED. Using water is not a synonym for WASTING it.

Yes, we do.

Not only do we live in places like Las Vegas, Albuquerque, etc, but most of California is a desert. It's just that water projects have created artificially available water.
