Your water
What does your water smell like? My water here smells very strongly of chlorine. In fact, sometimes I wont even drink it because the smell is so strong it makes me gag. Anyone else get this?
What does it taste like? Despite the fact that my water smell like chlorine, it tastes pretty good. I can taste what I think is minerals, but it isn't bad.
It kinda freaks me out actually. When I can smell the chemicals being used to clean our water, it makes me worry about what I am ingesting, and reminds me of why it is becoming so imperative for them to add so many chemicals to begin with.
That being said, I am not super fantastic at conserving water. Taking long showers is one of my weaknesses. However, I do turn taps off when brushing my teeth, and I make sure that I tightly turn the water off whenever I am done with it.
After going down south and discovering that the tap water is unsafe to drink, but people still wash themselves in it, I was thinking about how valuable that could be.
Why are we cleaning ourselves in water we can drink? We don't HAVE to wash ourselves in drinkable water... it is fine to wash ourselves in relatively clean water that isn't necessarily perfect for drinking. This would help preserve the water that actually is drinkable.
Anyway... thoughts?
