Lucas Thistle 4/15/2025 11:56 AMI'm attempting to save water and reduce my usage of plastic by taking 5 minute showers or less, as well as only drinking water in my reusable water bottle. By doing this with the water bottles, i've been able to avoid 10 water bottles so far, but I have also filled up my water bottle around 15 times. Something I learned is the water on campus tastes really bad, so if you want good water you need to take the water from Whitney dining hall or in the union. I also learned that in order to take a 5 minute shower in the dorms, it requires you to use cold water at some times.
