I'm turning off the central heating today.

Average australian uses two times more water per day than an average nordic person.

Average american uses over 3 times more water per day..





Is it because australians and americans sweat more and thus require more water or because they spend an hour in the shower.



Every year Australia and certain parts of america suffer these warm dry seasons.. And they are running low on water.





Maybe they ought to change their habits.. Like needless usage of water.

Amy Poehler's home in Beverly Hills allegedly used about 170,000 gallons from May 14 through July 14, 2015 — roughly 12,000 gallons per day. The average LA resident, meanwhile, uses about 196 gallons daily.



But if you think Poehler's reported water use is bad, prepare yourself.



Someone in Bel Air, the exclusive West LA neighborhood that's been home to celebrities from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to Madonna and Adam Sandler, used close to 12 million gallons of water in a single year, according to the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Even 196 gallons is completely unacceptable.



Funny how they squander resources to a point of need for rationing even though L.A. is a nesting ground of environmentalists/animal activists etc.

Rich celebrities with their decadent, selfish lifestyles skew that number.

When its 40 plus degrees, you tend to perspire. We shower twice a day in summer. We also have pools. We also need to DRINK twice as much as europeans.



For some reason Australians are fastidious with car care. Most cars are kept in pristine washed condition.



You should come visit in high summer. Then you'll understand.

Even if you drink twice the amount of water, its still only a few liters per day..



Taking extremely long showers is unnecessary.



Swimming pools are a luxury.. And they are a really messed up luxury when the country is running out of water.



Most people just ruin the paintjob of a car when they wash it..





I´m just saying if australians changed their habits and lived like everybody else on the planet, there wouldnt be any shortages.

The idiocy is strong in this one.



What water shortage?

There is water waste in California, but it's not being done by  average Californians.

Wastage is not necessarily shortage.



We had a drought about 5 years ago and went into rationing as a safety precaution. But we have a desal plant now, so we're drought proof.

No, but rationing in California doesn't seem to apply to rich celebrities.

[Bricktop]

That's not right.



But then again, America worships these performing seals like gods, so its no surprise.

Its in the news..



The local administrations are fearful of water running out in some areas of Australia.





And it triggers the "they are surrounded by an ocean" conversation every year.

Apparently its more like a guideline than an actual rule.



There is no punishment but decent citizens still try to avoid using too much water.

Just like reducing carbon footprints. Celebs are exempt.

Ah, that's in Queensland. That's around 2000 kilometres from Adelaide, where there is no water shortage.



Its a BIG country, son.
