I think going “green” is a spectrum of colors. Some people are a soft sage green and some more hunter green. Wherever you fall on the color wheel, this blog is for you. So I’ve included some tips to help you save money and take little baby steps in your eco-friendly journey.
Today’s green tip: Saving water at shower time. OK, let’s hit the obvious ones first…pee in the shower (no flushing), shower with your spouse (save water and spice up your morning) or the fan favorite, “I’ll shower when I stink.” I’m not going to tell you not to bathe or to shut off the water when soaping up. You’ll call bullshit, my husband will call bullshit, and more importantly, it’s just not realistic for most people.
What’s an eco-friendly, money-saving girl to do?
To help conserve water and energy in the shower, you can install a low-flow shower head. We were initially worried we’d lose water pressure or give up our nice, relaxing shower, but we decided to give it a shot. My husband installed them and they’ve been fantastic. The pressure is just as good, and I bought one that lets you dial the water down to a trickle without turning it off completely. That way you don’t get cold while soaping up, and before I did laser hair removal it was perfect for shaving my legs without wasting gallons of water.
It’s highly efficient, very affordable and good for Mother Earth. Sometimes the little changes end up making the biggest difference.
