Perhaps we should all shower with a friend. Makes a change from being asked to bathe with a friend :-)


(Apologies. I got carried away with the EST report on electricity use and put that up originally. Now edited to put up the appropriate report.)]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10849&Focus=179156#Comment_179156 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10849&Focus=179156#Comment_179156 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 14:38:52 +0100 SteamyTea http://randd.defra.gov.uk/Default.aspx?Menu=Menu&Module=More&Location=None&ProjectID=17359&FromSearch=Y&Publisher=1&SearchText=EV0702&SortString=ProjectCode&SortOrder=Asc&Paging=10#Description

• Installing an eco-shower head to a mixer or power shower – 49% of households could do this
• Washing clothes at 30C or below – saving 40% of energy on a wash at 50-60C
• Boiling only the water you need when you fill the kettle – overfilling costs Britons £68m a year
Well here's a free eco-shower head
