Alicia's actions

Water

5-Minute Showers

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers to minimize my water footprint, as in many watersheds, a drop for me is one less for salmon, which then warms streams or impairs salmon streamflows.

    Our water heater can be a little slow, and I would like to start capturing the water that's being wasted while my shower comes up to temperature.
