The student would need to address status quo bias in order to support this claim. Status quo bias refers to the preference to keep things the same rather than change, which could be relevant when discussing the adjustment to using low-flow showerheads. Many people may be resistant to changing their showering habits, even in light of potential benefits such as cost savings and reduced water usage. Addressing this bias can help the student strengthen their argument.
Within three years, two-thirds of the world’s population is expected to face water scarcity. Since showering accounts for nearly one-fifth of all residential water use, one way that we all can help to mitigate this problem is by installing low-flow showerheads. While the decreased flow can be something that requires acclimating to, anyone will agree that saving nearly 50 percent off your water bill—as well as saving the planet—is a welcomed change.
