So here I am, not letting the water run while I brush my teeth,
flushing the toilet only twice a day, reheating yesterday's coffee to
save water I'd use for a fresh one.

Yesterday a Raleigh water main breaks and 200,000 gallons go down the
storm drain. The Mayor says it's no big deal.

If that's no big deal, then my paltry conservation attempt is
certainly insignificant. Screw it.
