How about both? During a long drought why shouldn’t people be mad at a multinational company sucking up water to use for their international tech products?
6% of the water is effectively being used by billions of people. That’s pretty efficient versus keeping lawns greener for a few thousand people who insist on using non-native plants for landscaping.
I’m arguing for making all avenues of water use more efficient. I reread what I typed, and I can’t seem to find where I argued against making lawn water use more efficient as well. It’s also why I upvoted the comment I replied to, because of “How about both?”, specifically
This isn’t a jab at you personally, but I notice lemmy replies in general seem to add in/make up points to argue against pretty often. It’s kinda exhausting to continue making non-memey comments on anything, because it seems guaranteed someone will misread it and respond to what they misread
I’m saying that 6% isn’t a lot considering the number of people effectively using that water.
It’s like when people moan about California having to pipe in water for its agriculture without considering how many people outside of California are eating that food.

and 6% for a single purpose is also still a lot
