"Perhaps the most striking findings is that the British public vastly overestimates the cost getting to net zero by almost 14,000%, fueling scepticism & a reluctance to pay. On average, they estimate it will need 28% of GDP by 2050, compared to @thecccuk.bsky.social forecast of just 0.2%"

If you evaporate, condense, freeze, and then melt the recycled water, I'll drink it as fresh spring water.
Recycled water is wastewater cleaned by microbes, membranes, and UV/chlorine, then reused for parks, industry, aquifers, or, after extra polishing, safe drinking. It saves water, but some feel the “yuck factor.” Would you drink purified recycled water if your city used it? Why or why not?
