Since we’re back on the subject of satisfying and simple water conservation, put a shower head on your stocking-stuffer holiday gift list because it’s the most simple way to save water and still enjoy a warm shower. And this one requires only chump change.

This tried and true version is available on one of my favorite eco-resource sites, Real Goods for a mere 10 bucks, but so popular and inexpensive that you can find them at hardware stores everywhere. This beyond easy-to-install shower head cuts water use by 50% to 70% while delivering a vigorous flow. It uses only 1.5 gpm in most homes depending on water pressure. What I like best is the shut-off option that keeps the water warm while you soap up (or whatever extra-curricular activities you like to do in the shower).

If you’ve procrastinated about this quick and simple water-saving device, no more excuses! It can be used with a carbon chlorine filter, too. No tools necessary – just screw it on.

Thanks for taking care of the planet with me. Namaste.
