Seize the day
Many people want to live a greener lifestyle, 
but don’t know where to start. To mark World 
Environment Day, Hilary Osborne suggests 
some small changes you can make to your
daily routine. 
June 5, 2007
June 5th was World Environment Day but what 
can you do to help the environment? There are 
lots of small things you can do that will save 
energy and water. They will also help you to 
produce less waste and pollution. Here is your 
green working day. 
Begin the day with a shower – but if you have 
a power shower, have a very quick one. Five 
minutes under a regular shower uses only 
around a third as much water as a bath, but 
using a power shower can use up to 24 litres 
of water a minute. To save a lot of water, use
a flannel.
