The 90-Day Plan: DAY 11

DAY 11

TAKE A QUICK SHOWER…it’s one of the easiest ways to save water

showers flow around 2 to 3.5 Gallons Per Minute

..SO…

.....just one shower can use at least 20-40 gallons of water.....



Reducing your shower time by one or two minutes can save hundreds of gallons of water every month. Turning off the water when you later is an easy way to save too.


Showers tend to use less water than baths; if you take a bath, place the stopper in first and let the water heat as it fills

Remember to SHUT-OFF water when you are brushing your teeth and washing-up



Challenge:

If you switched to an efficient showerhead, how long would it take for the savings to pay for itself?
