So far my challenge is going pretty well. Since I generally take really long showers, for the eco challenge I decided to cut them down to only 5 minutes to save water.

I've found it useful to turn the water off when I'm not using it, like when I'm putting shampoo/conditioner in my hair and washing my body. Then I just turn the water back on to rinse. I also like to see how much water I'm saving on the eco challenge website after I mark days off for It helps motivate me to keep going until the end.
