REFLECTION QUESTION
Water

Five minute showers are an impressive step toward reducing your water footprint. What is the next step you can take?

So, I tried to take only a 5 minute shower. Unsuccess! My usual shower time is about 15 minutes. I was able to reduce that time down to 12 minutes. I think the only way to reduce a shower to 5 minutes is to not wash your hair or shave your legs...NOT an option here. 3 minutes less though still saves water!
