Tips For Going Green
OK, here's mine. It's my shower routine. I'm not sure exactly how much water I use, but, during the winters we live on a sailboat and have limited fresh water. Our solar shower bag (on the boat) holds 4 gallons of water for both of us to shower.
In the summers we live on a small island with limited water and a 3 gallon hot water tank.
Also, I don't use a low flow showerhead because I'm naturally limited by the amount of hot water available.
I have long hair and sometimes, to save more water, I use a leave-in conditioner and skip the second rinse.
Here's the deluxe version.
- Stand under warm spray soaking hair, body and wash rag (or whatever you use). About 15 seconds.
- Turn water to a trickle and shampoo hair and completely soap body with wash rag and shampoo.
- Squeeze shampoo out of hair.
- Turn water on and completely rinse hair and body.
- Turn water to a trickle and apply conditioner to hair.
- Apply conditioner to shaving areas and shave (conditioner makes the best shaving cream).
- Use trickle to rinse razor.
- Pumice feet.
- Turn water on and rinse thoroughly.
