Sin Tracker: singing in the shower

Monitoring the alleged sins of modern life

Evidently showering is good – it uses less energy than baths – but singing or thinking in the shower are bad. Time spent not actually cleaning yourself means using more energy which in turn means more global warming. According to a helpful press release (PDF) from Energy Australia, which has been monitoring such things:

“Brushing teeth, playing with toys and just day dreaming are some of the reasons why young children are showering longer, while for parents relaxing, exfoliating or shaving were the reasons given for keeping the hot water running.”

So showering is OK as long as you don’t enjoy yourself or do anything else at the same time.
