Ya, this is not the most environmentally sound hobby for sure.. Lots of wasted water, electricity, etc.. But then so is driving a car to work. Not everyone needs to but mostly everyone does for convenience. Again we have to pick our battles and compromises (if these sorts of things matter to you). I stopped watering the lawn 5 years ago. The front "lawn" just grows on rainwater and the backyard is planted with clovers which can thrive just fine in whatever limited water they get. I don't keep as Many house plants as I used to. Just a few choice orchids which don't actually need that much watering.
