How can I cut down my shower time?
I shower every other day and try to take less than 20 minutes, but every time I try to hurry, I end up taking 25 minutes. I really want to conserve water. How can I cut down? All I do is shampoo, shave, conditioner, and wash my face and body. I don't take baths because I heard, when you wash, the skin and dirt sits in the water with you so it grossed me out and I never took a bath again (and I think it takes more water). Anyway, yeah, how to cut down time? Thanks:)
First, get a low-flow shower head. You'll already cut back on your water use before cutting back on time.
Try turning off the water when you're not actually using it (rinsing soap off). I know it can be a pain getting it to exactly the right temperature again quickly, but practice makes perfect.
Do you really need to shave your legs every other day? (I'm assuming you're talking about your legs. Shaving my armpits takes all of 10 seconds). If you have a particular need for regular maintenance, give waxing a try. Much less water use there.
It sounds like you're starting out with the right attitude. The important thing is to take it seriously even when it's not convenient. Think through exactly what you are doing, what the consequences are for your life (a slightly less cozy shower isn't the end of the world) and the other things you care about (making a real - not just verbal- contribution to the environment), and look at the balance. Which is really more important to you?
