We are complicit.  We are aware of the issues regarding water waste, yet we
find ourselves again and again enjoying long showers, sprinkling our lawn in
the summer, and putting on small loads of laundry.  We are aware that these
choices are contributing to an environmental catastrophe, and we are not
only affecting ourselves and our country, but the environment worldwide.
We are aware that North Americans use twice as much water as Europeans, and
the majority of individual waste is through household bathrooms.  We are
aware of the terrible consequences that water waste entails, yet we still
find ourselves enjoying the luxuries of clean, safe water with little regard
to how fortunate we are compared to others.  And to this, we are complicit.
