Marine Style...


Well its high time we took showering seriuosly. And not because of hygiene alone. The average person wastes around 12-20 litres of water in a single shower. This is a large amount of water. And given the average size of households in India this amounts to almost a 100 litres a day. We're talking about good drinking quality water that we get in our taps. Well, as a very effective solution comes the military shower. Its the name given to the practice of turning off the shower when applying soap or shampoo or lathering. When one is done lathering, the shower is turned on again to rinse it off. A very simple solution to another daily problem. The water that we save today could not only help get water to water-starved areas but it could well be the water we might need tomorrow, given the ongoing fresh-water crisis that some of the nations of the world are facing. So go on and to your bit in saving the world. Hope this post helped. Happy Showering..!
