+ Hit The Showers

Here at The Greener Grass, we're starting to focus our efforts around water. Over the next couple weeks, we'll identify the key problems with our current habits in water consumption and ideate concepts as a better alternative.

I recently took a trip to Australia and became aware of their water shortage. While the government develops solutions including desalination, they've asked citizens to limit their showering time to 2-5 minutes.

An article over at Sun Frost did a good job outlining the key problems with a traditional shower. Their main point is that both water and heat need to be considered when designing the system. They've designed a more sustainable and efficient shower system that has a closed top to capture heat. Check out more details of the concept on their site. If you pair this idea with one of the many low flow showerheads on the market (take your pick here), you have a shower experience that is both efficient and enjoyable.
