[ # ] Cate Blanchett skips washing her hair to save the environment

Cate Blancett is going to great lengths to conserve water according to Sky Showbiz.

Cate has planted timers all over her house so that water isn't wasted.

They quote her as apparently saying: "I actually have little races with myself, thinking, 'Oh no, I'm not washing my hair,' - I only need to have a two-minute shower."

Interesting.

Of the timers, she said: "I went to a website and my husband was laughing at me because a box arrived with thirty timers, and I thought, 'Excellent stocking fillers.'"

Cate was said to have visited Lake Samsonvale, near Brisbane, Australia, to see the effects of a crippling drought.

She apparently went on to say: "I'm extremely concerned about climate change as a mother, because I want to ensure for my children a very safe and sustainable future.

"It's great to see my children engaged in these things, like when you put the water on when you put the toothbrush under the tap, you turn if off the minute you take it out and you don't let the water run."

A two minute shower, I don't think I do anything in the shower that is under two minutes. Plus she is going a little too far by planting timers all over the house to monitor water outtake. It is not like she lives in the dessert like me in Los Angeles.

your really ignorant to criticize someone’s efforts for water conservation. i understand your goal was to make her seem crazy for wanting to save water, but in reality you only made yourself look like an a sshole.

Cate Blanchett actually does live in the desert (and it is “desert” numbnuts, not “dessert” which is, in fact, food). Australia may be a scrub desert, but it is still a desert. Large portions of Australia are suffereing from 30 year droughts. Most of the land is unviable for planting or farming anything. In fact, 95% of Australia’s population only live on 20% of the land. It isn’t crazy to want to preserve water, particularly in those conditions. This is why our world is so screwed up, because of people like you, who think it’s dumb that there are people who actually care about the future of humanity. When your children ask you in 20 years time “Why didn’t you do anything when you had a chance to?” what are you going to tell them? That you thought it was more important to wash your hair three times a day?
