Do you turn the water off while you wash in the shower?
Question:many people don't and today being national water conservation awarness day i figured i try to convince a few people to start conserving water while you shower. using water only to rince will save on average 30 gallons per shower! you'll thank me when your water bill arives.
Answers:
I do because I pay the bills! Now can you get the teenage girl in the house to do the same?
man id freeze
but ill try ;]
Really? I just leave the water running.
i dont take showers. or baths. its un natural to bathe
I dont. I never really thought about it. On average, how much does it save on your water bill?
No I don't do that. I have well water, so it really doesn't effect me. I would be freezing if I did that!
Sounds inconvenient.
Think I'll just deal with the water bill.
I would but..it will get soo cold!
oh i don't think i could turn the water off when in shower.that's strange..i'll attempt it here in a few.however i'd save alot if i didn't have to shower 3 times a day..darn it i'm addicted
Nice idea, but with showers, it can sometimes take a while for the water to get a certain heat, so I like to keep it running. :) Sorry. Overall, I take more baths.
no that's just silly
i do that to my dogs when i bath them. i dont run the sink when i brush my teeth or wash my face so i am making up for the water i waste showering.
This is called a shipboard shower and Navy sailors take showers this way all the time aboard ship. Running water while washing is termed a Hollywood shower and is frowned upon. Personally, I take short Hollywood showers at home.
I would do that but I don't have a water bill. I do have a heating bill. If I turned off the water, I'd have to turn my heat up to at least 65 to keep from shivering. I live in an area where we get about 100 inches of rain a year but the average summer temperature is in the 50s. I try to keep a low profile in many ways but sometimes there are tradeoffs.
NO,i get cold easy!
I do,I have a button,you press when you want the water to stop. I take advantage of that.Bye
i always leave the water running and we dont pay for water in Ireland!! YAY!!
i dunno about that "on average" 30 gallon thing, that sounds crazy.
No but I will give it a try but I doubt that method would last very long with me. I like leaving the water on when I brush my teeth.
Hmmm, never crossed my mind. I leave it running, like most people I guess.
But like the other lady said I turn off the water when I brush my teeth and also when I wash the dog...I also hand wash my dishes instead of using the dishwater - that saves alot of water AND energy. So I guess I do pretty good!
