Oh Princess that explains it! :biggrin:
Their coffee is in its own food group - WMD. D:
omg you are so right - the "coffee" is horrible! It comes out at like 300 degrees and has such a funky taste that no sugar can cover. We joked that brewing dirt would probably taste better.
What cruise line do you work for, if you don't mind me asking?
Throwing trash on the ground is one of my biggest pet peeves in this area. Can't tell you how annoyed I feel then I see someone just drop a chocolate bar wrapper, paper cup, or chip bag on the street wherever they are. It's a deliberate fuck you I'm going to do whatever the fuck I want!
It should be legal to beat the shit out of people who throw their trash on the ground.
Waste does bother me but it's mostly from an economic standpoint rather than an environmental standpoint, although there are certain environmental issues that bother me. Leaving the lights on is a good example - it's like flushing money down the toilet. If you're not in the room, turn the light off, or, if it's daylight out - open a window - or better even yet, go outside, it's nice out there.

Yea, turning that knob's really tedious... You gotta be careful, or you'll get a repetitive motion injury :^S
Or when you see sparks on the road because some pig threw his/hers ciggy butt out the window! That's what ashtrays are for. And those that DO use the ashtrays PLEASE dump them in YOUR trash can NOT at a parking lot where someone has to walk through that pile of butts! There is nothing worse (well aside from stepping on a stonefish on a reef!) than tracking through a bucketload of Marlboro butts! GROSS! D: ×oo
Ah, my first cruise was on NCL, but I was only ~14. It's been Carnival and Princess after that.
No it doesn't. It might be used for other applications, like irrigating fields and other industrial needs, but state agencies prohibit the mixing of reclaimed water with potable water. It helps lessen the demand of potable water, but by no means has our technology gotten us to the point where the water I just flushed down the toilet will be recycled and flow back through my tap (well it does but it is incredibly cost prohibitive - such a system was recently installed on the ISS and cost $250M just to service a handful of astronauts). The process still leaves many toxic compounds and harmful pathogens to allow such a thing.
The "technology" is called mother nature. Regardless of what the immediate next use is, someone will eventually dink that water.
And in a million years, Mother Nature will have created a bunch more oil reserves for us to use so let's just forget about finding other sources of energy right?
Mother nature is not capable of keeping up with growing human demand. Especially when humans needlessly waste that which they have.
I hate that they don't teach the water cycle in middle school anymore. Complete failure of our education system.
Agreed. Right now my province is doing ridiculously expensive upgrades to the power grid because assholes love to waste power. Some places that can't afford to upgrade the infrastructure do rolling blackouts to deal with the power demand.Anyone who continually wastes things should probably consider seppuku.

What idiots. None of this would happen if they knew the water table would immediately replenish itself and that water was not in any way a limited resource!
"If it was just a drought, a big February or March could take this off the hook. But it's not just a drought," said Timothy Quinn, executive director of the Association of California Water Agencies, referring to moves to restrict water flows through some of the Central Valley to protect endangered fish.
I hate waste. And I hate social irresponsibility. So I was ready to hulk out after reading this:
H&M and Wal-Mart destroy and trash unsold goods:

spidey needs to watch this:

then maybe he'd realize how uninformed he is.
But I doubt it.
This video doesn't seem to have anything to do with addressing the idea that water is limitless and we can waste as much as we want. Your video is about water infrastructure and pipe maintenance.
