Do we shower too much?  Apparently, we are only supposed to shower one to two times a week.  If we shower more than twice a week, it will damage our hair and skin.  Even taking hot showers are harmful to us as well, they can remove natural oils on our skin.  Without these oils, our skin will dry up, letting bacteria and viruses in.

Showering less each week is better for us and the environment.  For a 10 minute shower, we are using 20 gallons of water.  One-third of the United States is in a drought.  We can help reduce the drought by taking fewer showers.
