Shower thoughts are wasting water. (aussie.zone)

My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it back up to rinse.

Plus, water is damn expensive!

Who here really has the time to stand, think and waste in the shower?

I still have trauma from growing up during a drought. Technically I still live in a dry climate but it isn't as bad now.

Take care

One way to avoid wasting water is to turn off the water while scrubbing. Only use it to rince yourself before putting on soap or to get rid of soap!

Water isn't that expensive right? Heating the water is what makes it expensive.

Is not about the cost...

I’m the problem. I take 30 min+ showers. It’s my best place to cry and think about my life.

Maybe true but water is essentially free around here apartment doesn't charge we have plenty of water. 30 min showers are minimum for me
