One topic when talking about protecting the environment is that a lot of water is used in, for example meat. But isn’t water in a cycle within a closed system? I drink it / but it into plants or animals and after I consume it, the water gets released again.

Drinking more water doesn’t make it rain more.
The water cycle is closed globally, but locally it is not. When the water you use returns to the environment, it flows downstream and is no longer available to you. You are ultimately dependant on rain for your water, which is completely independent from how much you use.
