Water Conservation

Maybe we shouldn't think about saving the 27 cents per day and think about actually having water for showers 25 years from now...

.27 cents a day

Yeah, the shower comment is ridiculous. So it cost's .27 a day to keep the shower running for two minutes longer. I will gladly pull out a quarter and two pennies every day to keep those two minutes. I am all for conservation of resources and money, but just think the shower comment was not too well thought out.

does not compute

I would gladly pay $100 for an extra 730 (365 x 2) minutes in the shower.
