5-Minute Shower Showdown

A big congratulations to the schools who took part in this year’s 5’ Shower Showdown. 

After an incredible week of teamwork, awareness-raising, and water-saving action across schools nationwide, together we logged 9,658 showers that were five minutes or less, saving a total of 482,900 litres of water(This is nearly as much water as in a 20-meter swimming pool!)
