Earth Day was last week, and it has plenty of people thinking about how they can make a meaningful contribution to help save the planet. By conserving fuel, recycling materials and staying vigilant about our consumption, we can all change the world. And now, The Body Shop is asking people to make one more sacrifice for the environment - by cutting down on the amount of time they spend in the shower.The eco-conscious company is encouraging people to spend no more than three minutes in the shower. Could you do it?

We know plenty of guys who are in and out of the shower with just a brisk shampoo. But for us ladies, showering can be arduous - from the shampoo and conditioner to shaving our legs, loofah-ing our bodies and exfoliating our faces. Is three minutes enough time to get it all done? We know you might be groaning at the thought of not being able to leave in your 10-minute deep conditioning treatment, but you still can! Experts recommend turning off the shower while you condition or shave in order to conserve water. The steam will keep you warm, and you can feel good about your impact on the environment. The company has another tip to help you cut down on your shower time - play your favorite song and try to finish by the end of it.
