Use less in the bath
Baths use twice as much as water as showers so better not to have one. But if you must, why not share it with someone else? Candidates include your kids, your other half, someone else’s other half, the milkman. A word of warning though: steer clear of people who work in manure pits.
- After you’ve shared your bath, use the leftover water in your garden. This handy hose transports water straight from your bathtub to your geraniums. And if you went a bit ballistic with the bubble bath, this non-toxic treatment cleans up the water for you.
- If you don’t own a bathtub, share your shower instead with this snazzy dual showerhead. The Australians amongst us can also check out this environmentally-friendly jobby.
- This recycling system takes water from your bath and shower, cleans it up, and then sends it to your loo for flushing. Pretty clever, hey? If it transported water into your kettle and made you a cuppa as well, it would be the greatest invention in the history of mankind.

Here’s a thing… the Romans were big fans of sharing baths. The Caracalla baths in Rome could house up to 1600 people at any one time, and attracted all walks of life: toga-clad city types holding business meetings; slave ladies who lunched; overpaid Premiership Gladiators offering girls lifts in their four-horse-drive chariots. All sorts.
