Planet Earth goes dark for one hour, because everyone turns off all their lights!

60 Products Did you know that:•We use 35% of our water in the bathroom, most of it is hot water.•We use more water for the shower than for a bath.A bath holds about 80-100 litres of water. But a modern power shower can use 20 litres of water a minute, meaning more than five minutes in the shower could use more than 100 litres.

The Eco Showerdrop is the worlds first low-cost, universal shower meter. A simple digital display tells you exactly how much water your shower has dispensed through user-friendly graphics. A simple alert tells when the recommended amount of water has been dispensed.

The savings can be substantial in both water and energy. For a family of four that could be over $1200 a year saved on water and energy bills, as well as over 40,000 litres of water and substantial savings in carbon emissions.
