15 “Kabo” Challenge

Taking a bath everyday is everyone’s obligation and also a part of every person’s daily routine. I was a little surprised upon hearing our next weekly challenge – “The 15 kabo challenge”. I do love taking baths, actually, I take a bath twice on weekends and before I go to sleep I took my half bath to freshen myself up before going to bed and also to have a very pleasant sleep. As I drench myself in the cold waters, I feel the iciness that the water brought and I begin to enjoy that feeling. After taking a bath I feel so freshened up and have that feeling like no other.

How does it feel to consume only 15 “kabo” in a bath? Well for me, it was fine but sometimes the feeling is slippery especially when the soap you are using is dove. But it was also normal for me except for the “feelings”, because I’ve also experienced to have no water, not even a single drop and it lasted for almost a week. And we have to fetch from the poso and it was quite far from our house. But then, there I realized the importance of water. This 15 kabo challenge has a big purpose and I’m glad to do it.

“Water water everywhere try to save it if you care”. Nowadays, water shortage is unavoidable. In any means, water is the source of life and part of our daily life. Prevention is one of the solutions and the kabo challenge is one of the best ideas on dealing with it. It is very overwhelming once you try it. You don’t only save water, you also save life. So what are you waiting for? Try the 15 kabo challenge now and together let us live life a whole lot better.

Weekly challenge #8

1. At first I thought it would be weird to use only 15 dippers of water, but after I finished doing the task, it felt accomplishing. Knowing that I could do so much with just 15 dippers of water, I felt confident that I can apply it and make it a daily routine. I felt like I already helped Mother Earth with just one small gesture. 2. Yes, this is something I can do long-term since it’s easy and applicable. 3. For me, as early as now, we should be taking preventive and proactive measurements against water shortages. At this very moment some areas in our country are experiencing water shortages. And it is just appropriate that we help lessen this issue by doing our part and minimize too much use of water. In any way that we can, we must do our best to conserve and reuse water, may it be in our home, school, office and public areas.

“The Kabo Challenge”

1. How does it feel to have your water consumption limited to a minimal amount? - It feels inadequate after taking a bath because it is not the way on how I take a bath, I’m not used to it thats why I feel conscious but good enough still feel fresh after the bath. I survive the 3 days of consumption and the second day I took 9 scoops only and I’m proud of it.

2. Is this something you can do long-term? - For me Yes, because I can took a bath in just 15 scoops or less using a “kabo” and I can help in a very little way to our water shortage problem by doing this. Though It feels lacking after a bath but still good enough just to think that the water that I consume helps my community in saving water.

3. In the future, with the amount of shortages we have when it comes to water, limiting your water consumption may be inevitable. What are your thoughts on this? - We should start conserving our water right now and it should be everyone’s responsibility in order for us to conserve our water so that sooner or later we will not regret that we did not conserve our water and so that we will not go to the point that everyone is starving for water. There is the saying that “Every drop counts”.

Weekly Challenge #8

For three days, limit your water consumption during your bath time. It can either be:

a. Keeping your number of scoops/“kabo” at or below 15. b. Limiting your shower time to 5 minutes. c. If you naturally use less than 15 scoops, count your usual number of scoops and divide it by two. After the three days, answer the following questions: 1. How does it feel to have your water consumption limited to a minimal amount? 2. Is this something you can do long-term? 3. In the future, with the amount of shortages we have when it comes to water, limiting your water consumption may be inevitable. What are your thoughts on this?

       It feels like I’m saving mother earth by contributing to small things in our community like this experiment. Before I did this experiment, I didn’t think I can bathe in fifteen or less than 15 scoops of “kabo” because normally, I bathe around 20 minutes but that already includes taking a dump of contemplating about life. It also feels good because I can save water and lessen the expenses that my parents are paying. This is really something you can do in a long-term basis because now that you think about it, it is really possible and also beneficial to you, your parents, and mother earth. We never know what will happen in the future so practicing this can help you in the long run because you already know and have experienced it. I think other people should do this too because even though 2/3 or 70% of this earth is H20 or water, only 2.5% of it is fresh and just 1% of the freshwater in this world is easily accessible because most of the freshwater are currently trapped in glaciers or snowfields.

As I took a bath last three days, using only 10 scoops of kabu, I can conclude that it’s not easy. Especially when you are used of using unlimited scoops of kabu. At first it is really hard, there’s still shampoo in my hair when I reached 9 scoops already. However, I feel great because somehow I conserve water. And it is really a good thing and a good practice to start with, in helping our nature. And I’m planning to maintain this kind of practice wherein I need to limit the number of scoops I will use when I take a bath. And I will try my very best to be consistent with this. And we all know, time will come wherein we need to limit our water consumption in order for us to survive. For me, it’s a good thing that starting now we need to conserve water and make some solutions so that there will be enough water for us humans and other living organisms in the future.
