World Women waste 50 billion litres of water shaving legs in shower.

[tom_mai78101]

Research has shown that one in three women leave the shower running while they shave their legs, wasting around 50?billion litres of water a year.

Thames Water, which commissioned the study, said the amount wasted would be enough to supply the whole of London for 25 days.

The research also found that one in four people leave the sink tap running while they brush their teeth, which accounts for around 120?billion litres of water wasted per year.

A spokesman for Thames Water said yesterday: “It may seem like it’s always raining, but we’ve had below average rainfall across our region for nine of the past 12 months.

It's not the shaving, but rather the fact that they leave water turned on while not needing it. Same goes for brushing and a lot of other actions in which you don't need continuous water. This is simply an education issue =/.

Even though it is highly wasteful I do hope that all women do shave. Not a big fan of the hairy legs or other places type of thing if you know what I am saying

99% of water is still here on earth, it's just the fact whether it is drinkable/usable or not.

We shouldnt be using Toilets, its a waste of usable water. OR, its a waste of power/labor used to re-purify that water, so it can come back out of our sinks again later, and be *clean* enough that we wont sue someone.
