Hot water is a luxury. It is something that a lot in the modernized world consider a basic need but many (I would venture to say a majority) live without. Even though I was not able to get a statistic on this, I would guess that the number of people that consider hot water essential to daily living to be in the minority.
Think about all of the energy that is expended on heating water. Much of this comes from non-renewable resources and is unhealthy for the environment, all in the name of comfort. After going for almost three weeks showering only with cold water, I can see how the consumption of hot water can be wasteful.
Cold showers are simple. They satisfy the basic need of cleanliness, with several added benefits, and conserve energy otherwise used for luxury.
