Earth Lovers: You Saved How Much Water?!

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

Happy Earth Day, everyone! I hope you’re celebrating by doing something eco-friendly, like taking a 3-minute (or less) shower.

Today is also the last day of the Earth Lovers 3-Minute Shower Challenge! It’s been an interesting experience and I’ve learned a lot about how I can be more time- and resource-efficient. I wasn’t successful everyday, but I successful most days, so I’m proud of myself. And I’m proud of all of you out there in internet land who took the Shower Challenge, whether you were successful or not.

Speaking of drastically cutting your water consumption, I was trying to find a good physical representation of just how much water I saved during these 14 days. Please watch my video to find out…

While I might not be able to continue to shower in only 3-minutes or less, I proved a lot to myself. This is a small step you can make, maybe once or twice a week, to drastically cut your water consumption.

I’d like to The Body Shop and HerCampus.com fro this amazing blogging experience!! Also, I’d like to thank my Gamma Phi sisters, my Cal Band friends, and my mom for all the support.
