Save your hot water!

The average bath uses about twice as much hot water as a five minute shower. That means it takes twice as much energy to heat the water. We know five minutes isn't much. But if you are having a bath every day, then swapping in a few five minute showers will really reduce your energy bills. If five minutes really isn't enough, cutting just one minute off your shower can save around 3,300 litres of water per year and around 200 KWH of energy. This is enough energy to make 6,000 cups of tea. You can also save more by turning down the water temperature just a few notches. You can also save energy by only boiling enough water for what you need. 67% of us boil too much, so save energy and only heat as much water as you need.
