Description
Save water and energy by turning off the shower when you are not using it! You can reduce your shower’s carbon emissions by using less hot water. Plus, it saves precious water. Simply turn off the shower while you clean your hair and wash your body!
Pay attention to how much water you actually need in the shower. By turning it off when you are not actually using it, you will realize you do not really need to have it running as much as you think!
This may be a challenging action. Especially when we have been showering a certain way for years. If you give it a try and it does not work for you, no worries. Do not let this impact the enjoyment of your shower. Simply mark the action as Not for me.
