Water Water Everywhere

Try to Save It if You Care

It’s the third week of the DOT Project! There have been challenges and successes. My biggest success of the week is that I saved more gallons of water.

Sometimes I just want to take long showers. I am on the track and field team and I am participating in City Dance. When I do these activities I get really sore. When I go back home I am craving a long cold or hot shower. I would like to spend a long time under the water. I want to relax and forget about the project but it is a habit I need to let go of. It started as an assignment but then I actually realized the damage we are causing the Earth by wasting water. Water is a limited resource. It may be just me making this change but every little thing counts. I want water to last forever. I want it to be fresh for every generation to come. Here is my water-saving progress so far:

• I have reduced my shower without washing my hair from 16 minutes to 4 minutes.
• I have reduced my shower time when washing my hair from 20 minutes to 8 minutes.
• I am saving around 60 gallons of water each day.

Something that has helped me reduce my shower time is creating a playlist. The playlist has a remix for each day. The remixes are four minutes long. If I’m washing my hair I can hear two — no more.

I stand on”

I have one more week of recording data. I am going to be done with the project but I’m not going to be done helping Earth.

I will take shorter showers! (Watch Video on YouTube!)
