OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO TO SAVE WATER AT HOME

- Save your piss in empty soft drinks bottles. No, really: piss is water, not radioactive waste, honest

- Wrap yourself in cling-film at night so you sweat less

- Kidnap passing school children, slice them finely, and dry them in a food dessicator

- Eat the rich (raw), that way you're not wasting valuable water on crop irrigation: suggestion, start with water company PR firm executives

HOW TO SAVE WATER AT HOME
• Install a rain butt to collect rainwater to use in the garden.
• Fix a leaking toilet - leaky loos can waste 200-400 litres a day.
• Use water from the kitchen to water your plants.
• Avoid watering your lawn - brown grass will grow back healthy.
• Turn off the taps when brushing teeth or shaving.
• Take shorter showers.
• Delete old emails and pictures as data centres require vast amounts of
water to cool their systems.

@cstross@wandering.shop A linguistic point: I just noticed that the term "data centre" focuses on data, making it superficially plausible that less data stored equals less resources consumed, whereas the German "Rechenzentrum" focuses on computation, suggesting that data at rest is "free" because nothing is being computed.
