Easy Peasy Tip: Take a Shorter Shower
By tinychoices | December 22, 2007
The next time you’re in the shower, try to determine if you can shorten any of the steps so you can shorten your shower. The average 15 minute shower uses 57 gallons of water - by reducing your shower from 15 minutes to 7 minutes, you can save 30 gallons of water! each shower!
If you aren’t a spacey-shower-taker and feel that you’re very purposed and regimented in the bath, you may want to start washing your hair every other day, or maybe reduce the amount of soaping up you’re doing. Because after all, what better time than the holidays, with the random days off and the quality family time overload, to experiment with your personal hygiene?

As one who considers her long hot showers a form of mental therapy (should I even be allowed on this blog again?), may I also suggest adding a low-flow showerhead?

If you don’t really need to take full bath or shower, why not take a sponge bath, aka the whore bath?
“People! Pay attention here! We have got to go bald, all of us! To walk around with a full head of hair is like driving an SUV or dumping toxic sludge into a river! It’s irresponsible! Hey, you hair people, shame on you! Shame on you!“
ha! I have got so much hair, too! I am a terrible environmentalist!
Guilty! I do shower about 15 mins each time, not every day though!
