I’ll admit it; I’ve been known to take the luxurious fifteen-minute shower now and then. Sustainability sometimes take a back seat when I’m enjoying a few moments of solitude.
French designer Elisabeth Buecher has found a way to help remind us that long showers waste water as well as energy used by the water heater. Her concepts for a green shower curtain might seem a little pushy, but the result is a better world for all of us. This represents what Elisabeth describes as “Design for pain and for our own good.”
Concept 1: The shower curtain slowly inflates around you, forcing you to finish your shower quickly.
Concept 2: Spikes in the shower curtain slowly inflate, pushing you out of the shower.
