During the last decade or so, many people, including our family, have been "going green" and doing things in their everyday lives to help save, conserve, & make the world a better place for themselves, people around us, and future generations to come.
A large part of this concept is energy/water conservation.
One way our family has "gone green" is installing showerhead shut off valves, 
which reduces both water and energy usage (heating the water). This allows you to shut off the water, at your set temperature, and lather up with shampoo, conditioner, body soap, etc. and then turning back on when ready to rinse. These are extremely beneficial in the smaller shower stalls, like 32" or 36" units ,where there's not near the room like in a tub/shower unit.
These showerhead shut-off valves are also very easy to use (1/4 turn on & off) and install. They are manufactured with male and female threads, so it's just a matter of unscrewing your existing showerhead and installing the valve in-between the shower arm and the showerhead (Don't forget the teflon tape) and voilà!, a green shower.
