Conserve Water. Help the Planet with Rizzieri Aveda School.

A recent national survey conducted by The Body Shop reveals some interesting findings: like that 69 percent of Americans would reduce shower time to conserve water and protect the environment. Did you know a typical showerhead uses about 7 gallons of water per minute? What about that the average person uses 70 gallons of water in their 10-minute shower? That’s 1,120 eight oz bottles of water. Here are some other stark stats:

• 34% of consumers polled think that a 10-minute long shower wastes only 10 gallons of water
• 67% of consumers polled admit to spending a maximum of 10 minutes in the shower
• 44% of consumers polled would be willing to cut their shower times by one to four minutes
• 53% of consumers polled believe that they could get clean in a three-minute shower

Conserving water is a great, easy way to help the planet. Aveda and Rizzieri Aveda School want to see you doing what you can to help our Earth in April (and all the time) in honor of Earth month!
