I'm not really sure how wasting a bit of water while brushing your teeth in Berlin could be considered particularly immoral or unethical. Berlin is, as far as I know, in no danger of water shortages and being more frugal with water in Berlin does nothing whatsoever for the billions of people in the world who have no or limited access to safe water supplies. Am I wrong?

It is not being wasted.
It is being paid for, and then goes back to the earth.
It is not like it is being contaniminated with mercury.
a) the price of tap water being cheap enough that the difference in consumption between efficient and wasteful behavior not causing a meaningful enough difference in the bottom-line cost of the monthly water bill to affect a change in behavior
b) sanity not being the same thing as morality, with the sane person not considering the waste of fresh water to be a moral or ethical violation.
