Team Showers: Saving Water or Sparking Romantic Frivolity?


You've probably seen that I write about ways to keep water and energy consumption down. And why not? Reduced use are conservation paths for us to be good stewards and to help protect the environment and human and animal health.

So, when it comes to two-person shower times who cares?! It really doesn't matter if it's for romance or environmental reasons, using less water will reduce your energy bill and conserve on maybe the most precious natural resource water.

Consider this a job your doing to save the planet, you super heroes.

If you wanted to take an even greater step toward water conservation you could try capturing the water while your shower heats up. To do so, place a large tub under the facet. Remove the tub before you get in for your shower. You can then use the water for plants or other round the house water needs. Some people use this water to fill up their toilet tanks.

For the Hesitant Polluters

Don't worry. This isn't the Thunder Dome; we're not there, yet. It is good for us to challenge the perceptions we have about "the way" to do things.

Being Frugal is Totally Hip

Collecting rain water is another savvy way of using whats already here, and proves your no slouch. Getting the most of the resouces (time energy etc) available makes you feel good while you do good.
