The Land of Blood

Hey readers. We were just in Budapest and had an awesome time. We were all super excited to explore the city so we went on a walking tour along the Danube River.

Skip a Bath and Save Water

The average bathtub can hold 40-50 gallons of water. That’s a LOT of water going down the drain when you’re ready to dry off. Want a quick way to save water on Earth Day (April 22)? Skip the bath!

If your parents insist that you wash off mud from soccer practice, think about taking a shower instead of hopping in the tub. Conventional showers use 7-10 gallons per minute, and water-saving shower heads use 2-4 gallons per minute. So if you jump in for a 5-minute shower, you’ll use about 10 to 35 gallons during a 5-minute shower.

Play Creek Cleanup and see how much trash you can scoop out of the water.

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!
