Good peeve, Jezer. So many people just selfishly think about themselves today and not the consequences to future generations. Even today there are millions of people around the world who don't have potable water.

I wondered about having a peeve centred around this.

I'm sure our fellow peevers in places like Arizona are familiar with having to be careful about natural resources like water, so how about this for the POTD;

People being wasteful with natural resources.
Excellent peeve, Jezer. I can't stand to see resources wasted.

Ever stop to think of all the waste, where it ends up, resulting from MGM's recently remodeling of their 5,000 room hotel on the Strip?

What bothers me the most is that which can't be recycled, like re-carpeting all the rooms!

What a shame for the environment!
The carpeting recycle issue is and has been being worked on.
