Whats next? Save water by not bathing/The "pee in the shower" campaign is very popular in South America.

I use an electric razor. Growing a beard won't save a drop of water. It will save me about 3 minutes each morning, but that will be balanced by having to keep all the wild hairs under control later. I had a full beard from 1980 to 1997. I can just imagine the gray hair where I once had a mix of reds and browns.

Funny you describe their “beer” the same way I do. I agree we should stop purchasing their beer to ‘save the environment.’

I would avoid the family. The micro-organisms that probably infest the air in the house will get in those folks lungs, etc.
They are probably a health hazard for the community... And they probably do not believe in cleaning if they don't believe in flushing toilets... Those greenies sound like typhoid Mary...

One boy is a teen. If anyone needs a shower it is a boy/man.
The kids will end up being social rejects. I wonder if the parents realize it? Probably not.
What part of the country? High humidity, high temperatures?
BTW, water in the bowl will eventually evaporate and all is left is distilled urine. Wonderful.

Any man who shaves knows that an electric razor will not cut it if a beard gets too thick and long.Yup. After 3 days, I have to run hair clippers though it to "mow it" low enough for the regular electric razor.

I avoid them like the plague (no pun intended). I do not allow my daughter over to their house either. Fortunately, their little friendship died off. Their daughter is a nice kid but I didn’t encourage them being friends. I know that sounds awful but since the other girl had lice twice this year, started to literally smell... I still stand by my decision.

I agree that teens need to shower. My son is 15 and takes two showers a day. One in the morning and one after school (he takes weight lifting). I never had to say anything either. Maryland can have some high humidity.

The people who make Queer Beer want more beards in the world.
Strange.

Budweiser, A-Bs flagship beer and one of its best-selling brands, recently announced its Grow One. Save a Million campaign to promote water conservation ahead of World Environment Day on June 5. Give me a break...don't we ALREADY have 'Earth Day'? ...and just what does Anheuser-Busch have to do with beer?

42,000 gallons of water saved? Does that mean if it was used it would be gone forever?

If you want to grow a beard, grow one. But the Earth will not be saved as a result.

But beer is a diuretic, half a case a day would more than make up for the shaving water.

Guys, put down the razor for as long as you like, a few days or a few weeks and save on average five gallons of water for each skipped shave. I've had a beard for over a third of a century (my wife has never seen me without it). And I still shave, to keep it trim.

Here’s an idea for inBev (new owners of A-B,) save water by not making that crappy excuse for beer that is beer. Theres lot of water used in making beer.
Long live homebrew and microbrew.

Guess it is okay to use electricity then. I have a beard and I still shave/trim it. Me too and I shave my neck, I do it while showering. I don't need a mirror, I know where everything is.
