      golf was invented in Scotland, instead of adapting the game to other locales they try to turn other places into Scotland.

      and even in the correct climate the labour involved in making and maintaining a golf course is mindboggling

      Collect rain water? You can use gravity filtration to make it safe to wash in. Also if farmers or industry is messing with your water supply you should be testing the tap water to see if it is safe (you can buy the kits online)

        “Water saving baths” are all so pointless because they’re too small for me to sit in without impaling myself on a faucet, they may as well not exist but they’re becoming the norm here. The rare treat of being in a house with an actually large-sized bath is lovely.

        A little switch on the shower head that turns the water off while you don’t directly need it can bring the total water running time way down. It keeps the temp constant so you don’t have to fiddle with the knobs every time. Lathering, conditioner leaving in time, shaving, exfoliating, teeth brushing, they don’t need water constantly running.

    If you’re really concerned with water conservation, only turn the shower on when you need the water:

    • Step in, turn the water on to rinse/wet your body
    • Turn water off, apply shampoo
    • Turn water on to rinse off shampoo
    • Turn water off, apply conditioner
    • Turn water on to rinse off conditioner
    • You can probably wash your face without turning it off because that shit takes like a second
    • Turn water off, apply soap to your body (including genitals and anus)
    • Turn water on to rinse soap off
    • Turn water off, exit shower

    It’s not at all relaxing, but it cleans your body and minimizes water usage.

    Or, we could have built homes to conserve water in the first place by using grey water multiple times before using it to flush our toilets.

      Or: Don’t live in a single family home, but use efficiency from modern apt. complexes. Those can also re-use gray water to some degree and have a much higher efficiency over building lifetime and inhibitor than single homes. You also need less material.

      If you’re going this far to save on water, you’ll probably be better not using conditioner at least.

      I’d also normally say soaping your body is unnecessary, but with so little water it probably is needed.

    why not 29 minutes? that too would save water, energy and time compared to a 30-minute shower. how did they land on 4? i think “19 minutes” would have looked nice too.

        How much hair do you have and what texture?

        This is definitely not doable for me. I’m closer to 10 min for a normal shower, could probably do it in 6 if I tried to be speedy.
