Pee in the shower? Go for it !

The following is an excerpt from an article at MSNBC (see Related Links below for more)...

"Let's start with a few facts: Toilet flushing accounts for almost 27 percent of indoor water use in a home. The amount used per flush ranges from a gallon in eco-friendly models to a whopping seven in older types. Where are we going with this? We beseech you: Save water. Save the planet! Pee in the shower! OK, we won't insist. But it isn't really that gross. Unless you have an infection, urine is sterile and nontoxic. Proponents of "urine therapy" even believe it can help treat athlete's foot. Heck, Dr. Billy freely admits that he is a shameless shower squirter."

The following is an excerpt from an article at www.thelondonpaper.com (see Related Links below for more)...

A Brazilian environmental group, SOS Mata Atlantica has released a TV ad called Xixi no Banho, which offers sage advice such as 'Pee in the bath' and 'Pee in the shower'. They believe that by preventing a single toilet flush each day, a household could save up to 4,380 litres of water every year. Urine is sterile, so no adverse affects should be felt by following their advice.
