Showers - Save the Earth

Bathrooms are the planet's enemy. Every day millions of litres of water are flushed down the toilet, used in baths and run in showers. Chemical cleaning and beauty products are rinsed down drains, and unethical products like cheap cotton towels and bathrobes are used daily. If you're passionate about the planet and want to do your part, then bathrooms are a good place to start. Here's how showers can help save the earth.

Showers - Waste Not

When it comes to being green in the bathroom, showers are a clear winner. Baths use around 80 litres of water, whereas showers use only 35. Take into account the energy needed to heat those extra 45 litres and you can understand why baths are the enemy of the environment. Showers, on the other hand, are economical, and can be made even more so. Showers can easily be fitted with water-saving devices so they use even less than 35 litres a time. You can also turn the shower off while shampooing your hair or waiting for the conditioner to do its magic. Only use as much water as you need to rinse everything off. But beware power showers - these use just as much water from baths, with some models using a massive 80 litres in the space of just five minutes. If you want to be really eco-friendly, choose traditional old-fashioned showers that use the minimum amount of water.

Showers - Green and Clean

Once you've worked out how to make your showers as green as possible in terms of water and energy consumption, you need to consider what you are rinsing down the drain. Modern beauty products are loaded with chemicals that simply go back into the water system and into the earth. All water is recycled, so remember that everything in that beautiful-smelling shampoo you use in your showers could actually be harming fish and animals. Switch to all-natural products and you will have a conscience that is as squeaky-clean as your hair and skin. You will need to do the same for all those toxic cleaning chemicals that get poured down showers in a bid to unblock the drain. Opt for a simple and green solution of bicarbonate and soda mixed with vinegar, followed by hot water. There's simply no need to let showers be part of the environmental problem when they can be part of the solution instead.
