Actually I’m not but when I first heard about the following topic I simply couldn’t believe the state of our nation.
As I am sure many of you do as well, I love a great shower! Or more accurately I detest a weak shower.
To hear about the proposed changes that will place limits on the flow rate of showers just seems that as a country we are continually focussing on small details and not big issues.
I can understand the need to conserve water and electricity etc but making allowable shower flow rates a law is one step too far!
You can read about the proposal in the NZ Herald.
The following comment in the article certainly sums up my thoughts:
“Does this Government have a mandate to mess around with our lives to this degree?” one blogger wrote. “We can’t smack our kids, now we can’t bathe them as we see fit either?”
I have heard some other intereasting thoughts/ideas regarding Sustainability based on experiences during my recent trip to ArchiCAD University in the UK. I will share those in another post soon.
