5 tips for saving water in the shower

You could
literally save hundreds of gallons of water per month if you made a few,
minor tweaks to your shower routine. Here are five shower-related tips to
help you conserve water and cut down your bills:

1.   buy a low-flow showerhead.

Many modern showerheads feature efficient, high-pressure systems that
offer the same
amount of pressure as standard showerheads – without the hefty bill.

2.   play your favorite song.

Playing a song while in the shower pumps you up for the day and
helps you understand how much time you spend in there. Try to be in and out before
the song is over.

3.   catch that cold water!

As you wait for your shower to warm up, put a bucket in your
shower to save that water for your plants, etc.

4.   get an inflatable
shower curtain that eats you alive if you take too long.

This does indeed exist, but please don’t actually try this.

5.   check out the (disclaimer!)
