Greener Living #18 Take Showers, Not Baths

The average American household consumes about 60 gallons of water a day from showers and baths. To reduce this number, take quick showers and install a low-flow shower-head that used fewer than 2.5 gallons of water per minute, as compared to about 5 gallons with an older shower-head. Baths are relaxing, but it can take 50 gallons of water to fill a tub.
