I'm not sure that that matters when it's in our food and water.
Toilet is actively flooding the basement. No need to turn the water off, the basement is already wet.
Fixing a leaky tap isn't going to help much during a flood. I don't know the numbers to be making any kind of judgement call and of course every little bit help. But sometimes a small issue really is so insignificant that fixing it has no noticeable impact in the bigger picture.
Often it can even be a great way for companies to look like their doing something to help and distract from the fact that they're the ones causing the bigger problem.
