3 Minute Shower

I’ve been on a “green” kick for a while now, being a big fan of Waterloo Region’s Green Bin program.

There’s a new program of sorts circulating around the web: The 3 Minute Shower.

Apparently, showering for 3 minutes uses as much water as a person in a third world country uses for their entire days activities.  That include bathing, food and drinking.

I’ve been feeling really guilty about the length of my showers ever since I read that. I’ve tried to keep my showers to 3 minutes.  But between the shampoo, conditioning, soap and shaving I just can’t do it.

 It’s my own shame that I just can’t be more efficient in the shower. Some people I’ve read about can even get their teeth brushed in those 3 minutes.

I’m going to keep working on limiting my shower time, and I challenge you to do the same.
