world changing response 7 or 8
One of my favorite things to do in the whole entire world is taking showers. I can easily take up to three in one day! Although “shower time” is my favorite part of any day, I also realize how much water I’m using. In “Recycling Shower”, (page 188) they discuss alternative ways to shower, which include conserving water by recycling it. Developed by a design student in London, Peter Brewin, a system was created which filters the water once it goes down the drain, and then is brought to a comfortable temperature, and is then reused. This design is mentioned to be great in drought prone areas, as well as help individuals save money on some utilities. While this design seems to be a great idea, one that would benefit society, do we really think that bathing in recycled water would appeal to many people? I for example do not know how thrilled I would be to be showering in water that I have already used, even if I knew it had been filtered. Aside from my own opinions, if its believed that this would be a good addition to society as a creative solution to a major problem, why is this new design for a shower not being introduced into our daily lives, and our own personal bathrooms?
