I shower once a week. Here’s why you should too

3/27/2016

This article from The Guardian presents a controversial argument about the environmental impact of daily showers. The author suggests that showering less frequently, such as once a week, can have a positive effect on the environment by reducing water consumption and the use of personal care products. The article discusses the excessive use of water and the environmental consequences associated with daily showers, including the energy required for heating water and the use of harmful chemicals in shower products. It acknowledges the social and cultural norms around personal hygiene but advocates for reevaluating our habits in order to lessen our impact on the environment.
