If everyone turns off tap while brushing

AI Thread Summary
Water conservation efforts, such as turning off taps while brushing teeth, primarily benefit local water supplies rather than directly aiding countries with water scarcity. The discussion highlights that while advertisements promote water-saving practices, the impact is localized, particularly in regions like South East England and East Anglia, which are currently experiencing drought conditions and have implemented hose-pipe bans. The emphasis is on understanding that individual actions in water conservation are crucial for local sustainability, even if they do not directly alleviate global water shortages.

Hi Experts

I heard an advertisement that encourages people to save water.

It says that there are many people in countries without good water to drink.

But if say UK people turns the tap off while brushing, this only saves UK water.
How can this help poor countries ?

It doesn't. Water conservation is a local issue, not a global one.

If you're based in the UK it's likely because South East England and East Anglia are in a drought at the moment and have already been given hose-pipe bans.
 

Thread 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...

Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'

(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...
