    By that logic nobody has to do anything, because you can always find someone who has a higher impact that should start first.

    • Why stop driving my petrol car, trucks or container ships have a much higher impact
    • Why stop flying around the globe for no particular reason, Taylor Swift should stop
    • Why should I start energy saving, cryptominers should stop

    Don’t get me wrong, you leaving the shower on for 10s longer than necessary will not be the end of the world. It’s just this mentality of: I am pro climate change (policies) as long as I don’t have to change anything about my own life, that you can hear way to often.

      We need to save the planet, that’s why you need to put a giant plug up your ass! Why? Well you see, Methane is a serious greenhouse gas, and despite your farts being miniscule compared to the massive releases from factory farms and other industries, eVErY liTtlE biT HeLps!!

      You should really just not question it and live your life with this painful inconvenience because we all need to start somewhere. If everyone across the nation were to just start wearing a big butt plug at all times, we could reduce methane emissions by a whole 0.1%! And no, before you ask, the factory farms and other industries won’t be doing a damn thing to reduce their emissions. So lube up that bussy honey, you gotta get into that green mentality, it’s for the planet!

      Residential water use has practically no effect on climate change though when its used at manageable levels. Those levels are not made unmanageable by too many people taking 10 extra seconds to shower.
