Week 7


This is the second last week, I'm starting to feel very comfortable with this challenge. I no longer skip out on showering and have found a lot of consistency and am comfortably able to stay under the 3 minute mark. But it could be a bit too late to achieve my overall goal of averaging under 3 minutes per shower. My current average is 3.42 minutes per shower so in order to reduce my total under the 3 minute, I have to not shower for the entirety of next week. I have decided that I will continue to shower everyday as not showering for a week is unreasonably and I don’t want to skew the data. I have realized that reducing your shower time is something relative simple and doesn't effect your life at all once you’re used to it, but it can make a massive difference. If everyone in my city of Adelaide with a population of 1.3 million all reduce their shower time by 3 minutes. We could save over 65 million litres per day that’s over 25 Olympic sized swimming pools!




The below statistics are based on if everyone in Adelaide reduced their water consumption by 3 minutes.
