Take a green step when you wash your hair and body.
We are suffering form a drought in California. Please turn off the water when you lather up or wash your hair.
Then turn the water back on to rinse. This basic step will save water more than you think.
You can save up to 2 gallons of water per minute.
TIP:
Take this step further and be good to your body too.
Use organic shampoos that are sulfate free, and make your own chemical free body wash.
They are synthetic-free and are better for you.
A little goes a long way, as they are more concentrated.
You will also use less water to rinse.
Mother nature and your wallet will thank you.
We like the organic coconut oil from Living Tree Community Foods.
You can find unscented Castille soap at Dr. Bronner.
We recommend Mountain Rose Herbs as a reputable source for essential oils.
