yes of course, industry & agriculture are the biggest culprits - 
especially agriculture where i live in australia & new zealand. right 
now i'm in brisbane where there is a drought & major water-user 
restrictions eg you're not allowed to wash your car or water your 
garden, & supposed to have a very short shower. also they are phasing 
out normal lightbulbs so that you can only have the energy-efficient 
sort. but it is all quite tokenistic as the agricultural businesses 
are continuing to run cattle on land that wants to be desert and 
divert entire river systems to grow wheat where there is not enough 
water (& everyone in the cities continues to drive their car to work 
every day & keep the swimming pool in the garden full of water ... )

maybe we can change it & maybe we can't; the only thing for certain 
we can change is ourselves & our own behaviour - to live by example 
as much as possible in our own little lives & at the very least, be 
aware ...
