i really have a problem w/ all the wastefulness i see in packaging products (really hard plastic casing thats 2x2ft for a usb thumb drive) , but i can understand it i guess because of theft.
I use the same dishwashing technique, although I do not dry dishes. Wet dishes are placed on a drying rack. It would be annoying to turn the water on and off for every dish. To those who would suggest washing the dishes at once then placing them aside to be rinsed together I say that I do not like piling my dishes in the sink while they are all soapy. The sink may redirty the dishes. There is also the risk of breakage when piling dishes.
Nader or Paul?

You could rinse under flowing water you know, Here's how I would do it.
1. Dirty dishes in soapy water
2. Scrub dish in soapy water
3. Rinse by letting clean water from the faucet flow over it.
4. Turn off faucet
5. Place the dish in a drying rack.
6. Repeat 2-6 until done.
It takes very little water, the dishes are just as clean, and it uses less soap.
But so long as it was raining frequently water was never an issue. I really don't know how you can "waste" water by running it through the sink. It just went down the drain, through the septic system, and then right back into the ground to be absorbed back by the well at some point.
Not at all. I tend to not care what other people do. And that's not wasting water in anyway shape or form. It's just water. It's not like it drains off to some secret place where it can never be used again, you'll wind up drinking that very same water later on. Then pissing it out, then drinking it again later on.
It generally isn't quite that simple, and when it is, you've got some serious problems ;^)
The issue isn't just water availability, but potable water available to people. Even next to the Potomac which has a seemingly endless supply, it's better to conserve usage to reduce stress on the infrastructure. Out west where water isn't as easy to come by, conservation is critical.

I teach my son not to leave the water running when he brushes his teeth and not to take long showers. We also keep our heat set low during the winter and A/C set kind of high during the summer and we don't leave electric devices on in rooms we aren't in, have low power lights etc. We also recycle as much as we can and try to use most of the food we prepare (eating leftovers and such).
Yeah, waste is something I strive to minimize in my lifestyle. My next car will probably be much more efficient than my current car.
Some people seem militant about being able to live their lives however they want no matter how wasteful their lifestyle is...I don't get that.
Not everyone is tied into the city sewer
why even question who he voted for? does a person's candidate define the person?
and to answer the OP's question, yes wastefulness does bother me.

I just meant that it's kind of funny if wasting food at a buffet bothers you it must be kind of hard working on a cruise ship knowing/seeing so much of it go to waste.
But I did wonder what they did with all of it. I know when I cruise I load up my plate with food and eat like 1/4 of it.
Oh, and what's with the "scrambled eggs" in the buffet? They seem anything but eggs to me. Bleh. They are like 50% water D:
Yes they pile it up since "they paid for their cruise and are entitled to it" [sic]
On the eggs...well you got me there! Some days they're runny and other days they're normal. They are definitely better in the restaurants, however. If you're in a suite your butler can bring you them for room service and they will be near perfect - every day.
It's hard to mess up dill pickles (short of taking them away! ). Long live the long, dill pickle! ()
When I was on the Island Princess in Oct/Nov they were runny everyday. I learned to go to the omelet station and either get an omelet (no oil!) or as the guy to make some scrambled eggs for me.
And I also don't get the food rotation. While waiting in line for some carved meat they removed a whole tray of perfectly good pineapple and then 5 mins later brought out a tray that didn't look as good. Shoulda got my fruit before getting in line.
Doesn't matter, all of the water that goes down your drain will eventually make it back into circulation.
