This tip. Frankly, there are some tips that, while good for the planet, just feel a little too yurts ‘n’ birks for the Bite. But certain tips are submitted so many times we have no choice but to give in. So, here goes with the oldest water-saving trick in the book… collect water in a bucket while waiting for your shower to warm.
Heather is NOT going to carry a sloshing bucket of water up her tiny spiral staircase to her rooftop garden, and Jen’s shower heats right up. But we promise that every morning when we warm up our shower, we will think about all you Biters who are saving yours.
Help Heather answer a burning question about buckets in the shower at the Ideal Bite Blog.
If you compare the world's water supply to 1 gallon, freshwater makes up 4 ounces (3%), and readily accessible freshwater makes up 2 drops.
If 10,000 Biters put a 5-gal pail in the shower while waiting for the water to warm every day for a year, the water they’d save could flush a low-flow john more than 5 million times.
