Okay friends, it’s Friday, February 5 and today’s holiday is for the conservationists out there - to save water. It’s National Shower with a Friend Day.

While the creation of this holiday started perhaps innocently enough, it’s a sure fire way to heat things up today. This national holiday began when a Colorado company called New Wave Enviro encouraged people to take showers with a “friend,” but with their marketing prowess, really meant its all-new shower filter. They had a pretty genius reason to get folks to shower with their new filter by stating “Your body absorbs more chlorine through the skin and lungs while showering than while drinking tap water.”

Taking a shower with a friend is also simply put, responsible. A 5 minute shower alone uses 20 gallons of water! So on this day, you can save some chlorine intake and one of earth’s most valuable resource by doubling up and scrub a dub dub. As far as instructions and ideas go on how to celebrate, probably safe to say I should leave it at that!

Happy Holiday everyone - and I’ll see you tomorrow.
