Socialism at Work: 3 Minute Showers.

Chavez urges 3-minute showers to conserve water

"Leftist President Hugo Chavez called on Venezuelans on Wednesday to stop singing in the shower and to wash in three minutes because the oil-exporting nation is having problems supplying water and electricity. "

"He called on ministries and state-run companies to cut energy consumption by 20 percent immediately. "

Water is going to become a big issue soon for the entire planet if we don't do something soon about Global warming. In our family we conserve water too, we save the water after a shower in the bathtub, instead of letting it drain, and use it for the toilet, i.e., we don't flush the toilet but rather take water from the bathtub put it in a big bucket and throw the bucket in the toilet which flushes it... this simple act saves thousands of gallons of water per year by reducing flush costs by more than 90%.

Do you use a flow diverter or just left the water sit in the tube?
How much does water cost per gallon?
