    I really liked this quote and think it's relevant to our EcoChallenge.

    I always try to take shorter showers, I was surprised how long 5 minutes actually is when I timed it this morning. It is plenty of time and the amount of water saved is amazing! Absolutely keeping this as a rule in my household.
