Sure, they are all making those changes. Australia is leading the way in implementing a dual-source water supply system. The point is that they are having to come back to an optimal system. The third world countries have the opportunity to get there directly, in much the same way as we went to cellular technology without investingDeepakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209335764722035548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001595.post-14275661815683462622010-05-06T04:24:31.612-07:002010-05-06T04:24:31.612-07:00@Deppe, I am not sure of your "using aqua gua...@Deppe, I am not sure of your "using aqua guard to wash your car" statement. Going by my observations in Germany, there are many taps that clearly state 'not for drinking' or 'Regenwasser' (rainwater) etc. So its not that water in EVERY tap is purified for drinking standards. <br /><br />Also, there are some procedures in place. E.g. by law, one cannot wash their car onAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278945293434797029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001595.post-92209275762728374732010-05-06T04:18:08.288-07:002010-05-06T04:18:08.288-07:00@deppe, what about the water consumed to wash the ...@deppe, what about the water consumed to wash the glass/steel cups?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278945293434797029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001595.post-4818285033503004322010-04-23T02:40:13.251-07:002010-04-23T02:40:13.251-07:00@VictorTango: This one's easy.

A glass cup will probably get used thousands of times before you get rid of it (and you can recycle it again!). The steel coffee cups at my place have been in use for at least a couple of decades now.<br /><br />Moreover, Paper cups are never purely made of paper.
