Showers - Prisoners Play Their Part

There is much emphasis being placed on addressing climate change at the minute and much of the debate centres around reducing the emissions of each country. According to the report on the BBC, by allowing those in prison to have their own private ensuite showers is causing a significant increase in the level of emissions that are created which, of course, has a knock-on effect on the environment. According to officially released statistics, the levels of carbon dioxide emitted skyrocketed in prisons after prisoners were provided with their own private showers. The increase in emissions has been attributed to an increase in the number of people in prison and the fact that many have now been supplied with their own private showers. It may be the case, however, that there will be a rethink on whether or not prisoners should be allowed ensuite showers given the impact it potentially has on the environment; particularly at a time when governments are striving to reverse the effects of climate change.

Showers - Doing Time

When it comes to showers, the amount of time spent in them obviously has a bearing on the overall emissions that they produce in terms of carbon dioxide. As such, if governments deem it too drastic to withdraw private showers for prisoners entirely, then they may feel that introducing stringent time limits on the showers as an alternative means of addressing the issue. It's not just prisoners who enjoy spending time in showers as research reports revealed that the UK as a nation spends more time in their showers than any other country in Europe with around 3% of Brits spending in excess of twenty minutes per day in their showers.

Showers - Making Changes

According to the report on the BBC, the government do hope to address the issue of heightened emissions resulting from private showers being installed in prisons as part of their overall goal of reducing emissions in the UK by 60% before 2050. Showers are, however, in general, a much greener alternative than baths and more and more homeowners across the UK are installing showers in their bathrooms as they endeavour to do their part to redress climate change throughout the world.
