Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Water from the Baltic Sea? Great idea... just so the garden can be watered and the fields irrigated where feed for factory farming is produced. And what consequences does that have for the Baltic Sea?? I think it's entirely right that no water should be taken for the pool or the English lawn. My husband also wants to reseed our lawn area because we have little real grass in between. I have vetoed it because it has so many advantages. The clover is for the bees, moss and the rest of the scruffy stuff need little water and it still stays green and soft. And besides, you have to mow less.

The problem with such meadows is that they are not green in winter. And they do need some water too. We have an example right now, the neighbor died about 8 weeks ago, and since then no watering has been done. It looks terrible, and he only had grass with other plants too. Not filling the pool means a massive restriction of quality of life. And then I drive to the lake every day and use petrol. Better? It doesn't matter to the Baltic Sea if water is taken, it has an inflow from the other oceans, it balances out globally, the sea level is (apart from tides) the same everywhere. On the contrary: taking water from the seas could do good to the rising sea level.

Not filling the pool means a massive reduction in quality of life.

Well, I really think that is an exaggeration. And especially in very dry areas, it's almost frightening. Because there, saving water is not an end in itself but is meant to ensure quality of life for everyone.

So I really find that exaggerated. And especially in very dry areas, almost alarming. Because there, saving water is not an end in itself but is supposed to ensure quality of life for everyone.

You may see it that way. I swim my laps in the pool every day. And that for several months a year. And if kids were no longer allowed to splash around in the pool, that would affect a lot of people.

Remember, 1 kg of coffee consumes about 20,000 liters of water.

It's already somewhat alarming what is now considered given and standard.

That's why the energy transition is failing. mia San mia. Preach wine and drink water. For example, I try not to throw away any more food, but I am currently installing 22 automatic sprinkler nozzles for my lawn; after all, I built my garden well for that.
