A new way to power...
Daily, I usually shower or bathe for more than hour. This wastes a lot of hot water. So, I'll lower that time of showering down to about half an hour. Also, when I'm brushing my teeth or scrubbing my face with facewash, I'll turn off the tap until I'm done. I use a hair straightner and blow dryer almost daily, I can cut this use of hair neccesities down to a few times a week because it takes up a lot of energy since it takes alot of time. I also notice when I use my blow dryer, the celing light of my room dims a little until I turn it off. I charge my phone even when a lose a few bars of battery, instead I'll wait until I really need to charge it when it finishes all of its battery bars. Also, I've heard that even if your not using the device but you keep it plugged in in the outlet, you're still using a little bit of energy. So, I won't be lazy next time and unplug all the chargers and things I'm not using. Saving energy and making your own to power could be simple and easy.

I challenge you to a 5-15 minute shower schedule. Apart from the waste of water (no minor thing, that) think about what you could achieve reclaiming 45 minutes of time every day!

Dear, Hiba
I liked your post, "A new way to power...," because it gave me the courage to change, cause most my daily basis are like yours.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "Also, I've heard that even if your not using the device but you keep it plugged in in the outlet, you're still using a little bit of energy." I think that does not use energy, that's something new i learn.
Another sentence that I like was: ". So, I'll lower that time of showering down to about half an hour." This stood out for me because seriously I can not take a shower in half an hour.
Your reminds me so much about myself and I will try to change. The only thing I don't use daily is a blow dryer and a straightener.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
