Hot water is made of water and energy. Energy is also global. Your electricity could come from any place from the planet, from coal or from gas, or other sources. And waste from fossil electricity production is probably one of the courses to the global heating. So; less use of electric energy means less waste. Less waste means less global heating. Pretty simple really (assuming your energy is not recyclable and locally produced) Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of P.

Denying myself a luxurious shower can't help your situation in the least, . It's kind of like cleaning your plate because children are starving in (fill in the blank), they'll keep starving and you'll get fat. Save water because people are thirsty in Australia? Sheesh.
