All he used was organic soap, toothpaste, and essential oils.?Nobody thought that I smelled at all,” he wrote on his blog. “And I surprised myself at how clean I was, just like everyone else.” Greenfield says he had no lack of friends, and sometimes they’d even join him.

　　He even had a few romances, which he says were the times he felt the most challenged.

　　?The hardest part were the times when a beautiful girl wanted me to get in the shower with her and I had to say no,” he told BuzzFeed. “A few times I almost got in and then remembered I was aiming for a year without showers.”

　　He said it was also difficult when the temperature dropped in San Diego, and he didn’t feel like having to go to the Pacific Ocean for a dip. But he still did it.

　　?I realized that water doesn’t have to come from a shower head to get me clean,” he wrote.

　　In Brooklyn, for example, he found a bath in a leaky fire hydrant.

　　For people who don’t live near bodies of water but want to be more eco-friendly, Greenfield recommends trying to be conscious of water usage, taking shorter or fewer showers, and turning off your faucet.

　　The world traveler told BuzzFeed his biggest takeaway from the project has been abolishing stereotypes.

　　?A short time ago I would have thought it crazy to forgo conventional showers,” he said. “Turns out it’s not really a big deal at all. We have a tendency to make instant character judgments based on clothing, style, race, sexual preference, political affiliation, and even bathing habits, and most of the time we’re just absolutely wrong.”
