"Delete your old emails to save water" - the environment agency

you wot?!

(gov.uk/government/news/nationa…)

A screenshot from a government page about saving water. It says.

HOW TO SAVE WATER AT HOME
• Install a rain butt to collect rainwater to use in the garden.
• Fix a leaking toilet - leaky loos can waste 200-400 litres a day.
• Use water from the kitchen to water your plants.
• Avoid watering your lawn - brown grass will grow back healthy.
• Turn off the taps when brushing teeth or shaving.
• Take shorter showers.
• Delete old emails and pictures as data centres require vast amounts of
water to cool their systems.
