Conserve water by taking shower

There has been serious talk recently about water conservation.

Here is an interesting statistic. How much more water does it take for a bath than for a shower? The average bathtub holds 50 gallons of water. The average shower squirts out two or three gallons a minute.

If you put the plug in the tub while showering, it would take 20 minutes to fill the tub. That's a long shower.

Conserve water! Don't bathe — shower.
