Heating water is expensive, you can save money by taking shorter showers. Some people like to take long hot showers. I remember in a Civil Air Patrol summer camp as a teenager taking 1 minute showers. It can be done. Also use less shampoo, you don't need much to clean your hair. The chemicals in shampoo are not good for your hair anyway.
The cost to heat water for a 10 minute shower costs about 50 cents. If you take a shower every day, the energy cost for hot water is about $180 dollars. If you take 5 minute showers instead, you'll save $90 per year. If you have a family of four and everyone cuts there 10 minute shower to 5 minutes, you would save $360 per year. This is not a huge savings, but I like the idea of spending less money and conserving resources whenever I can. Shorter showers not only save energy, but conserve water as well.
