Cute video production and quite thought-provoking. We are going through a severe drought here (Alabama), and I thought I was doing a good thing taking showers instead of tub baths... I will do better! :)
@malleron: If you have to do it with cold water, you certainly get down to business a lot faster. But I bet I get a lot cleaner with the hot water! I lived without hot water for a few months once, and that forever made me appreciate hot water!
