The reason for concern: Wasteful shower use

Hello.

No foundation, Milobina, and Manager Nonko are always welcome.

How long will you be in the shower?

Also, when I went to the gym, there was a hot spring attached, so I wanted to take it easy and relax,

There is something that is bothering me no matter what, and I can't calm down.

The baths and showers here are the same as those in an ordinary home, and they don't shut off automatically, but rather keep the hot water flowing continuously.

Taking advantage of this, for some reason there are always a few people who leave the water running all the time.

For example, while washing my face or shampooing, it's so cold that instead of pouring hot water over my body, I just let it run right onto the floor.

The other day, she washed my body, shampooed me, and even brushed my teeth, all the while making a lot of noise.

That's a great current of water...

It was someone else's problem, so I tried not to worry about it, but the more I tried to worry about it, the more it bothered me, and I couldn't stand it.

I think it's a miracle result.

The reason why I'm so concerned about this is because using water also uses electricity.

Of course, it's a waste of water!

But it also wastes electricity.

Electricity is used throughout the entire process from when we use water from the tap to when it flows into the sewer system and is treated.

Of course, electricity is also needed to purify and manage water.

That's why if a disaster causes the electricity to go out, toilets and running water will also become unusable.

Currently in Japan, where nuclear power plants are not allowed, most electricity is produced by burning coal.

At a time when everyone is suffering from global warming, it makes me anxious to see the unconscious actions that contribute to increasing CO2 emissions.

When I was a student, I learned the expression "the knowledge of ignorance."

It’s important to know that you don’t know

The point was that there is nothing worse than doing something ignorantly.

Because they are unaware and do not mean any harm, they end up hurting others and causing continued damage.

The fact that we can now use water and warm water is the result of a series of almost miraculous events.

I am grateful for it and want to use it with joy and care.
