What if showers had a timer on their wall displaying how long you have showered for that session? I think that could conserve a lot of water and save a lot of energy.
I wouldn't tell people how long they should shower or turn the shower off after a set time. That way, people would just feel like they're babysitted and 'what if I just take longer? What If I take five minutes longer? Huh? What now?' Or some would be outraged that their god-given Freedom is taken away. (*) With just seeing the time, people would start feeling bad for taking a long time (whatever they think that is) or would develop an intrinsic motivation to achieve a self-set goal. Maybe some would even try to compete with others for the lowest time and try to see how low of a time they can get away with, while still getting clean. I think that would be a cool idea.
- Then again, we're on the brink of completely destroying our environment. So maybe we should go there.
