try taking 4 minute long showers and once you get good at that if you really want to then go lower.

Lainey's actions
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream, and downstream in Puget Sound and/or the Pacific Ocean, by using a reusable water bottle.
Nature
Do Nature Activities
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 5 minute(s) each day to connect with the shared ecosystem in which I live and rely on. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)
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.
Education
Help educate young people
Identify, lead and host simple environmental education activities, that help the Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean, for 2 young people I know.
Education
Educate my family or friends
Spend 5 minutes educating my family/friends about Southern Resident Orca Whales and their endangered food supply.
