Save the Planet - Pee in the Shower!

Don't really see what the fuss is about... Most men do so anyway................Don't they ??????

A video encouraging people to urinate in the shower to save water has caused a storm of interest in Brazil.

The animated video has aired on TV and shows dozens of characters that include Mahatma Ghandhi, King Kong, the Statue of Liberty, Psycho, an alien, and a man in a wheelchair relieving themselves behind a semi-transparent shower curtain.

It was commissioned by SOS Mata Atlantica, a green group devoted to preserving the Atlantic rainforest.

Organisers said each person can use up to 4,380 litres of water a year flushing the toilet and described the video as a fun way of offering an environmentally friendly alternative.

"In these times of financial crisis when the answer to everything is 'no' we wanted to bring a 'yes' to people's everyday lives, encouraging them to pee in the shower," said Mario Mantovani, the group's mobilisation director.

"The environment appreciates the amount of water saved on each flush, which can be as much as 12 litres."

I think it's better then the old "if its yellow let it mellow" rule that many of my hippy friends follow.

With such rapid rise in population and such waste of water, people in future may have to shower in pee.

baldrick2dogs, no? Shame. Well maybe some men can :P

MagicDragon, that makes me feel good. I'll never look at a glass of water the same again. :S

I really don't understand the fuzz. The earth is like a spaceship. There is a finite amount of water on Earth. The amount cannot be enlarged. It is re-used and re-used and re-used since the beginning of life! Maybe this thread makes you aware of this, maybe not. But: we are literally drinking the pee of our forefathers, if you like it or not.

Hold on.. If one urinates in the shower (not that I do), then surely the running water will wash away the urine and any impurities.

To me it makes sense.... Don't you guys WANT TO SAVE THE PLANET ?

Johnpur, there is NO cure for decease. Decease = dead :P

Labda, "I mean especially men, you guys can just aim and fire off into the toilet" ... Not from the shower we can't ;o)

what dyu mean no one gets affected? The person doing it gets affected, or should do. The people who have to share that shower/bath are affected (dear gawd my smelling salts). I mean honestly that is just plain disgusting. I mean especially men, you guys can just aim and fire off into the toilet, u have no excuse!!

By happygolucky• 8 Aug 2009 12:52
happygolucky

labda...atleast when one pees in the shower no one else gets affected ...in the pool is another story... so yuck that is...
