Weekly Green Audit: The Bathtub

We could do an entire bathroom audit this week, but that would be a lot of work. Let’s look at the different parts of the bathroom over the next few weeks. This week, we’ll start with the bathtub and shower.

Now when we do a green bathtub / shower audit, we’ll need to look at some different items. Following are the things we’ll be concentrating on.

• The actual tub or shower.
• The products you have sitting on your tub – shampoo, soap, sponges, etc.
• Water use.
• Cleaning the tub.

These are the types of issues you need to consider if you want to complete a true and total green tub audit. If you ignore water use but buy organic shampoo that’s really only doing some of what you could be doing. That’s ok; small steps are cool. But the goal is to eventually green each situation in your home to it’s fullest potential.

Start thinking about your bathtub and shower situation. Tomorrow morning we’ll get started by focusing in on one part of the audit.
