There is something about the shower that makes even the worst set of vocal pipes seem almost passable. Speaking of pipes, the shower accounts for a fifth of the water usage in our homes. That's a lot of water. The shower also uses electricity via the hot water heater. Why not install a low flow shower head? It will reduce your shower-based water and electricity usage by about half. Making your shower green will give you something else to sing about.
