I shower once every day in the evening. It's an excellent way to wind down and relax. Sometimes I take showers after I'm done with homework (depends if I finish homework earlier than usual), other times I take showers right after I arrive home. But I noticed with these two methods, something is still wrong. After finishing my homework and going to take a shower, I checked the time after I have finished; 11 pm. 1 am. Taking a shower took a huge portion of my day and rather than being productive, the cons weigh more than the pros. The cons were:
- Dry skin
- Not feeling as refreshed
- Confused (on what time it was)
- Tired, sleepy
- And finally, they were WAY too LONG!!
During my first week of starting the personal impact project, I had a rough start. The day I went home at 6 pm and wanted to shower, I was feeling tired. I waited 5 seconds for the water to turn warm and stepped in. A shower is supposed to make you refreshed right? Yes, it did. By the time I was done showering, I was clean. However, my skin felt dry like I had the chicken pox and I checked the time -- 7pm. I haven't eaten dinner yet nor did homework! The next day, I decided to time myself. After I was done showering, I checked the stopwatch. 24 minutes. Not bad, but it was close to half an hour. My goal is to be done showering within 5-15 minutes.

This was a really great intro to your project and helped the reader see your daily routine, but what about stats? How much water did you save? Heat? Put some sources in there!!
ReplyDeleteneed to include info on water you use and how you can be sustainable with some sources and citations
ReplyDeleteI love how interesting your blog is! But I think you need to include the impacts of using to much water and how it effects the environment!And how your impact will improve the environment. I found this link that you can use:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/03/04/your-shower-is-wasting-huge-amounts-of-energy-and-water-heres-what-to-do-about-it/?utm_term=.25bbbc42c4c9. And citing the sources as Mark mentioned. Overall, good job!
