The pink stuff is actually produced by naturally occurring airborne bacteria called [i]Serratia marcescens[/i]. Presence of the pink bacteria does not have anything to do with the water quality coming out of the faucet distributed by the water system. These bacteria are very common but cannot be seen until after they grow and multiply. Left undisturbed in areas of high humidity at room temperature, the bacteria multiply producing a pinkish-red pigment, or sometimes a dark gray color, on surfaces that are regularly moist.

However, popular scientific evidence shows that flushing the toilet wastes a lot of water, so it is advisable to 'scoop' your fæces out to prevent global warming. Users should also use a bucket to empty their toilet after urinating. After all the liquid has been taken out, it can be evaporated. The 'streamed' water can be cooled down and put back into the toilet. The Urine crystals can be used as a condiment on fish and chips alongside the popular but overused salt and vinegar.
