I want to know if I should use deoderant and take fewer showers from a
water consumption standpoint. Or does the production of a stick of
deoderant -- including all of the chemicals, packaging and
transportation -- take more water than I would use taking two showers
a day?
Assumptions:
Stick of deoderant lasts about 1 month
5 min. shower uses 12.5 gallons
65 showers per month w/no deoderant = 812.5 gallons
30 showers per month w/deoderant = 375 gallons
difference = 437.5
I realize it's unlikely that it takes several hundred gallons of water
to make a stick of deoderant. So the answer I'm looking for is strong
and authoritative numbers telling me how much water is used to make
something like a stick of deoderant. hip_domestics: Deodorant question::
So, my question to you: Does it take time to transition to deodorant before . Make sure you get the roll-on and not the stick deodorant from Kiss My Face

Does anybody know of a vegan deodorant? - VeggieBoards ::
Make a daily habit of scrubbing with salt in the shower (keep it close) They are very good as all you do is wet the crystal stick with water and apply.

Wanna save water? Choke down that shower head to a gallon a minute or
so, for starters. Install a high efficiency head with a shutoff and
turn off the water when you don't actually need it.
What's up with you that you need 2 showers per day?
