Celine Dion’s house wasting water

The world famous singer Celine Dion has spent such a long time in the Las Vegas heat that you would have thought that she would have realised that water is a short supply in some places and even if it is not short supply wasting water is just wrong.

Yet in the new Florida home of the singer, they have used up 6.5 million gallons of water in the past year, this works out at around 18,000 gallons of descent water every single day. The average for the area according to the US Water Institute based in Florida the average usage is around 170 gallons.

It should come as no surprise that these celebrities use everything in excess, but what is really annoying about some of them, is when they talk about what we should all be doing while they carry on like this.
