Who doesn't love a nice hot shower after a long day? Or are you a quick, cold morning burst kind of person?

Well, below you'll find some simple ways to reduce your water usage without sacrificing your cleanliness. Here are some quick ways to use water mindfully in the shower:

• Try to reduce the time you spend showering by using a shower timer. You can get sand timers and electronic timers. Alternatively, just choose your favourite 4-minute song from this playlist.

• Use a bucket to collect water while waiting for the shower to get hot. You can use this excess water to water your plants.

• Turn off the shower in between rinsing where possible such as when applying shampoo, shaving your legs or brushing your teeth.
