washing a water container every day? using a water container with water is using and cleaning at the same time. and lifestyle is no excuse for living lavishly

  Did you read the article? It suggests that rinsing with water only does not sufficiently remove germs, you should wash with soap. What you consider wasteful is a personal view. You might consider buying a new mobile phone or computer to be "not wasteful". Others might consider these things entirely unnecessary. That's fine, in general we get to make those decisions on a personal basis. It doesn't seem reasonable to say someone is "lavishly inconsiderate and wasteful" for buying a bottle of water but not for buying a mobile phone...

    > for buying a bottle of water but not for buying a mobile phone... I didn't say I wouldn't say that. If somebody buys a new smartphone several times a year then this would also apply. and germs and their relevance is not a subjective subject. the objective criteria is whether they have a negative impact or not. just b/c there are germs that doesn't mean something is bad. germs are everywhere. but obsessing over artificial cleanliness is also a neurotic feature of many people from industrial cultures.

  You think that's bad? There are people who regularly wash the towels they use to dry off after bathing! Think about it--when you step out of the shower or tub, you are at that moment probably the cleanest thing in your house. Therefore being used to dry you will make the towels cleaner, not get them dirty. (Yes, I ripped this off: http://dilbert.com/strip/1995-11-24 http://dilbert.com/strip/1995-11-24 )
