Hygiene & Hair Washing — 25L/Day Water Conservation Challenge (Day 10)

Admin | March 13, 2010

Just for those who may be curious, I am still maintaining a healthy level of personal hygiene. I’m not covering it up with perfume or anything. haha I also haven’t been running marathons, though. I’ve thought about jogging since it’s getting nice out. I should do that and bathe afterwards and see if the same amount of water is still good enough… To check out my full blog, visit www.sierraclub.ca


Water Conservation Challenge — 25 L/day! (Day 1)

Admin | March 4, 2010

I’ve decided that, if I’m going to talk about water efficiency and conservation, I should walk the talk and, you know, challenge myself every once and a while. The average Canadian uses a whopping 329 Litres of water per day –to use a tangible comparison, this is the equivalent of 658 water bottles (though bottled water is, or course, terrible for the environment). We are, next to Americans, the worst water wasters in the world. Europeans use an average of 150 Litres per capita per day (Lpcd), and we’re over double that! I’ve decided to take part in the 25 Litre water challenge –that is, cut my daily water usage so it amounts to 25 L or less every day for the month of March, while still remaining hygienic and un-smelly. :) For more info and to follow my progress on this challenge, check out my blog at sierraclub.ca
