Description
Taking a five-minute shower uses about a third of the water of a bath. As we use hot water for our showers or baths, we are not only using water, but energy from heating.
Reducing hot water use is a great step to decrease your resource use, as you are tackling two resources at once. Saving hot water saves energy (and money), reduces emissions, and helps conserve precious water resources. The last of which is a critical step in many parts of the world where supplies are scarce or infrastructure is strained.
