It is hard to parse sarcasm in a world where opinions are much broader and varied than they used to be and signalling has become more pronounced and infused into life.
You genuinely do get bloggers recommending ensuring you take a reusable bottle on a plane trip, that people take shorter showers, and don't leave the water running when brushing their teeth.
It is reasonable to do all those things, but they are pretty small.
Are these 3 sarcasm or real?
- Wash your dishes in a bowl instead of a larger sink.
- Fill your watering can waiting for the water to heat up
- Put buckets in your shower.
Answer. All real.
One is a Google suggested tip for saving water.
