What a shock, right?
From the story "From swimming pools to gardening, the rich’s privileged lifestyles are driving urban water crises, study says":
The study, which was led by Elisa Savelli at Uppsala University in Sweden, proposes a new approach to preserving water resources centered around “altering privileged lifestyles, limiting water use for amenities and redistributing income and water resources more equally.”
Meanwhile lol:
The entire (100%) population of Sweden has access to a safe-drinking water source.
GUILTY MUCH? The place is still 60% Lutheran.
But a lot of this is just far-north-garden-deprived envy:
We English are often caricatured as garden fanatics but we have nothing on the northern Swedes. This gardening obsession is not uncommon up here. In the summer our local snowmobile dealership majors in ride-on lawnmowers. Locals fondle Husqvarnas the same way petrolheads caress Ferraris. Coachloads of northern Swedish townies criss-cross the countryside each summer visiting gardens.
