In the shower, you need more water to have perfect hair, Trump explains and the government will increase the pressure from the taps in America
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him
In the shower to have perfect hair, according to US President Donald Trump, you need more water. A sentence that said so, could also make you smile were it not that, after this declaration, the American government has proposed new national standards to allow more abundant water flow from showers.
And so, while the United States is in full pandemic, while scientists warn that if the depletion of resources is not halted, there will be serious consequences for the planet, the Department of Energy has as a priority to make a longer shampoo for have perfect hair.
As CNN explains, since the 2,5s, federal laws have mandated that shower heads should emit no more than 2,5 liters of water per minute in total in order to conserve resources. With this new proposal, there would no longer be this limit because each single filter of the shower head could individually spray those famous XNUMX liters per minute.
It all started with the complaints of President Trump who, during a public event in an Ohio factory, complained about the poor flow of the shower.
“You arrive in a new house, turn on the tap and there is no water. Open the shower and if you're like me, you can't wash your beautiful hair properly, ”Trump complained.“ You have to rinse 10 or 15 times instead of just once. I don't know about you, but my hair must be perfect ”.
That the president's hair has been in the crosshairs for years is certainly not new, but as long as he likes it and does not cause any rather imaginative proposals, nothing to say. But here, the problem is real. So far the Americans have saved both in economic terms and in environmental impact. "There is absolutely no need to change current shower head standards," said David Friedman, vice president of Consumer Reports.
"Thanks to the standards, consumers have shower heads that produce good results and satisfy customers by reducing energy and water consumption."
Words also shared by Andrew deLaski, executive director of the Appliance Standards Awareness Project. “The new multi-nozzle shower heads would not only waste water unnecessarily, exacerbating the shortages caused by the drought, but they would also increase the carbon pollution that worsened the long-term drought. Nobody takes advantage of this expedient ”.
All this happens while, let's remember, the Navajos do not have access to drinking water and they have to travel tens of kilometers just to drink.
Left without water and without the possibility of reaching the wells: so the Navajo risk disappearing forever
We have heard many imaginative statements, but somehow they promoted water saving, from the former Minister of the Environment Clini who claimed to change his underwear every four days and invited to wash less until the beautiful model Gisele Bundchen who to actively contribute to save the planet explained that he has a habit of peeing in the shower. Trump's words, as always, go against the trend and certainly do not encourage more sustainable and environmentally friendly behavior.
