> You can't get that much wasted water from that usage.

You also need to factor in the wastewater to produce all of the other products you consume. That produce you bought at the store and rinsed yourself was also likely washed several times along the supply chain before it got to you. That one bottle of beer you drank? The bottle has been washed several times, inside and out, along with the vat the beer was brewed in, every single pipe and tool that was used to process or shunt it, etc.




If I did that with everything, not just water. It would be way more waste than 1 tonne.

What about frequently checking replies page out of FOMA?

What about the content I watch or read? The anime I watched last took lot to produce and there is no doubt, people wasted shit ton of paper along with other things are?

That is quite a lot of waste in terms of energy.


Those are different because that waste gets amortized across a large number of consumers.
