- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants hotels to monitor how much time its guests spend in the shower. The agency is spending $15,000 to create a wireless system that will track how much water a hotel guest uses to get them to “modify their behavior.”

“Hotels consume a significant amount of water in the U.S. and around the world,” an EPA grant to the University of Tulsa reads. “Most hotels do not monitor individual guest water usage and as a result, millions of gallons of potable water are wasted every year by hotel guests.” -

Close all hotels and start with the Waldorf, I heard that the EPA is going to target Hotel 6 and have them turn off the light for us

Just tell them you are homo or claim minority status, or both. You will get special treatment and exemptions for just about everything.

[MeshugeMikey]

You breathe too much. We have to modify that behavior.

THAT in the minds of any number of crazed “environmentalist” types is the ultimate goal. The elimination of vast numbers of US!

[mrsmith]

I thought hotels already installed peepholes in their bathrooms for this purpose?

In an unrelated, but contemporary, event, Congress established the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970, at what may have been the dawn of the Watergate Era. According to the EPA website, the agency’s very first budget in Fiscal Year (FY) 1970 was just over $1 billion. In the ensuing years, the agency’s budget grew steadily until it exceeded $10 billion in FY 2010. That amounts to an average annual increase of about $225 million over 40 years. That growth in the EPA budget includes a very large increase from FY 2009 to FY 2010 of $2.65 billion, a one year increase of more than 10 times the annual average increase over 40 years, and about 35% over the FY 2009 budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY:
The agency gets $8.1 billion, down $60 million from the last fiscal year. The agency’s budget has been slashed by $2.2 billion, or 21 percent, since fiscal 2010, according to GOP aides. The cuts mean that EPA will have to reduce its staffing to the lowest levels since 1989.

More cuts. Reduce staff and budget until eliminated.

Maurice Strong, the guy who was instrumental in writing UN Agenda 21, started his career trying to get a monopoly on water rights in Colorado so he could sell water. He lost in court and had to pay on the $3.1-million damages.

He also was involved in some financial shenanigans at the United Nations involving Food for Oil.

He moved to Beijing before he could be indicted, evidently.

Wasn't it these jerks pushed for "water saver" shower nozzles?

I'm a big, hairy guy. It takes a lot of water to wash the fur, so to speak, and with some of those d@mned things, it takes a while just to get wet enough to wash.

Now they want to eff with how long (how much time is wasted by the piddling amount of water is coming out of the nozzle)?

If the water gets cut off while I'm still covered with soap, my visit to the front desk will be bloody unpleasant for everyone.--Because that is what is next from this bunch of jerks. (Who go on hot tub party expeditions, oops, seminars, on our dime)

Maybe I'll just take a bar of soap down to the pool..

“Most hotels do not monitor individual guest water usage and as a result, millions of gallons of potable water are wasted every year by hotel guests.”

False Statement.

Setting up a Straw Man to knock down with more Nanny State regulations.

They have no way of knowing if any water at all is wasted.

First the hotel showers.

Then private home showers.

Then they will want to monitor how much we urinate.

[grobdriver]

guests use more water in the shower when in the hotel as opposed to at home

Monitoring your home will be next - just like "smart meters".
