Skip the Bath!

Posted by NG Kids in Green Scene on April 21, 2010

Did you know that the average bathtub holds about 40-50 gallons (151 to 189 liters) of water? So when you take a bath you use a lot of water. Why not skip the bath on Earth Day and save some precious water?

Or take a quick shower to wash off the day’s grime. If you have a water-saving shower head installed on your shower, you might use only 10 gallons (38 liters)  of water during a 5-minute shower.

What other water-saving tips do you have to share with other kids?

Print out this Get Out of Tub Free card and give it to your parents at bathtime to let them know how much water you’ll save. Or you can be REALLY green and show it to them on your computer screen instead of printing!
