Step 108: Green Steps in the Bath Room

Don’t assume showers save water: Yeah 1000 Green Steps know you may have heard this in the past, but know that there are major variables. For example, according to the Environment Agency, “A 5-minute shower uses about a third of the water of a bath. But remember that power showers can use more water than a bath in less than 5 minutes.“ Now, if my son takes a shower he messes around, takes forever and wastes a lot more water than he might in the bath. But a person who just jumps in and out may save more in the shower. It all depends. If you’re fast a shower is likely your best bet. If you lag, a bath could be more efficient.

Happy Green Living!
