Zach Salem 4/25/2018 9:05 PMOne of the challenges I did over the past two weeks was reducing water by only taking five minute showers or less. This is very unlike me as I take long showers in the morning to wake me up, or after a workout or whenever I am sweaty. This helps the environment by saving 75L or more of water each day. That adds up to over 1,000 gallons of water over the course of two weeks. I discovered that I not only take too long of showers, but too many as well. This only adds to the amount of water that I saved over the course of the challenge, which allows water to be used elsewhere.-
Cole Boram 5/08/2018 11:51 AMI too and very conscious about how long I'm in the shower for. Typically I try to shower as fast as I can so I can reduce the impact I have on the environment but there are days when you just need a nice long shower. Nice job and keep up the good work!
