Whenever you turn on your shower, you spend a few minutes just letting the water run. In the amount of time it takes for the shower to go from cold to hot there is a lot of wasted water.

A great way to save water is to get a bucket and put it in your shower to collect the wasted water and put it to good use.

The water could be harvested and used for other purposes.

A teacher from Shadow Mountain High School used to do this and he used all his saved water to water his plants.

There are also other uses for the unused shower water: just be creative and you can help save the earth while saving on your water bill.
