I just calculated that I have used about 660430 gallons of water just for showers during period of 30 years.
My total water usage is probably about 2 times of that in total, so it would make about 1.3 million gallons of water in 30 years.
Is this too much and I would want to know how much others have used water during their lifetime?

All that water went to waste and nobody will be able to use it again. Once water goes down the drain it's gone for good and there's no getting it back.

If it was pumped from a slow-recharge aquifer then on human timescales this is true.

>This is what climate activists actually believe

I always love when I hear some statistic about it takes x gallons of water to make y. As if that water magically vanishes from the universe.

Why not invent something to make it comfortable? I mean like some suit or costume that gets filled with water and then the water goes away. Douche-bag? That's weird. Why is it a bad word? Maybe because it's filthy? Okay, invent some douche bag that doesn't get filthy. Clean douche bag. Or wash an ass and the dick or vagina first and then wear a clean douche bag. Something like that.

8,616,555 gallons in the average life span of the average American (109,500gal /year). I use about 3 gallons a day (1,095/year; 86,165/lifetime).

I mean, why impose some rules on everyone?

Invent something, make it comfortable, cheap and scalable. It will scale and save a lot of resources if that's what you care about. Trying to impose some strict rules and the discipline for the sake of the discipline - meh, who is going to get excited about that?

It's like someone believes that good things should be hard and that comfort is bad. Maybe it's related to the idea of deserving something? Deserve to breathe. I deserve to inhale because I exhale. Or I deserve to exhale because I inhale. But do I really deserve to breathe? Or maybe the question is incorrect.
