I am from Guatemala and never I thought that so much affect things that we do daily, but since the moment I know my carbon footprint I Realized all damage that caused my actions. 

I think how reduce  this problem is take a shorter shower, because I takes me fifteen minutes take a shower is lot. I propose to reduce the time in half but I think also spend less energy because the environment will thank me .

Hi Arnoldo, I'm Francis from California and I agree that it is important to conserve water, especially where I live as we are currently experiencing a drought. In addition to just using water less like taking a shorter shower, or shutting the water off when lathering soap and shampoo, another tip I found was to install low-flow accessories onto showerheads and faucets. This website http://energy.gov/energysaver/reduce-ho … gy-savings lists some water saving advice, and says that older showers and faucets often have a higher flow of water than newer ones. Replacing showerheads and adding aerators onto faucets can help save water. The site describes if these might make a difference in your home, such as if it takes less than 20 seconds to fill up a gallon-sized bucket with the shower.

Hey Arnoldo, You're right showers do use a lot of water. In America the average shower uses about 2.1 gallons a minute, that's quite a lot of water. If you were able to cut down your shower by half you'd be saving almost 16 gallons or roughly 60 litters of water. That is quite a lot of water and since water is so precious every little bit counts. For some tips and facts on shower usage in America check out this site: http://www.home-water-works.org/indoor-use/showers I know you're from Guatemala but this might help you out in your quest for sustainability.

I agree with you: fifteen minutes for a shower is too many. I think that a lot of people waste water: shower, teeth clean,...
One time I read an interensting article in a magazine for waste less water in bathroom, recycling. The water thath we use taking shower and in the sink, after the use it don't go away, but the water go in the restroom.
I think that are small thing like this that we do every day that reduce the consumption and the pollution.

Hello Arnoldo, my name is Zander. Just like so many people have already said, if you cut your shower time in half it'll help a lot! So many people waste water and take advantage if it because we have clean water. Taking less time in the shower, turning the water off while you brush your teeth until you need it will help a lot.

I agree, I used to take showers so long that 30 minutes for a shower was an improvement. Now I try to lessen my shower time every time I take one.

I agree.  I normally take a 5 to 10 minute shower, it is definitely doable.  We can also conserve water by not running the faucet when we are not using it, like when we are brushing our teeth.

Yes long showers do take up lots of water, so it would be smart to cut down to 10 or maybe even 5 minutes.

Taking long showers definitely takes up a lot of water. I have to same problem also, I take long showers and I need to take shorter showers also!

I agree. Normally I take 5 to 10 minute showers. It would really help if you take shorter ones.

Long showers would most likely affect your carbon footprint and you could also turn off the water when you are shampooing and conditioning to lessen your water use.
