Save the rainforest, take a leak in the shower!

[Asaito]

Also, urine can help kill the fungus that causes athlete's foot, so you might just be doing your feet a favor by letting loose that golden stream in the shower.

 

[The Shade]

I can't even use public washrooms. I'm hardly going to piss in the shower. It just seems rather... unhygienic.

Sorry, rainforest. But I like feeling clean.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Shit... I do it because it's convenient...

 

[Glerken]

I thought everyone already peed in the showers.
And outside.
Pretty much everywhere but the toilet now that I think of it...

 

[fletch_talon]

Every morning I shower, urinate and brush my teeth at the same time.

Urine is sterile.

Urine is sterile.

Would you drink it?

 

[thatstheguy]

I saved the rainforest! I can has cookie?

Here you go.

Although it itself is sterile it does attract bacteria and also contains urea which is toxic.

How long would it take to attract bacteria? We're not talking about 3-day old piss that's been sitting out, we're talking about hot fresh urine that's getting rinsed off anyway because you're in the shower.

I take it one step further: saving water by not using the sprinkler system to water my yard.

I just run outside and piss right on the grass, every single time I feel the urge to urinate in the slightest way. Too bad I need both hands, or I'd wave at the neighbors as they stare.

Also, does anybody here have experience in landscaping? I'd like to know why my grass is dying.

I hope your joking in wondering why your grass is dieing. Urine is an Acid. Acid's kill plant matter. Grass is plant matter. Ergo, Piss Kills Grass.

So that's why there's a spot in my boyfriend's backyard where plants don't grow...

 

[CrafterMan]

Bah, I live ze bogan lifestyle and piss in the bushes at the back of my house with beer in hand!

ps. I like my showers clean. XD

Does this mean going in bottles when you're too lazy to walk to the bathroom, then flushing it all at once is okay?

Personally, I like either going in the shower or outside. You don't have to aim as much in the shower, and outside you just let nature take it's course. Once when I was getting in the shower the water wouldn't warm up. I was standing to the side trying not to let the cold water hit me as much. I really had to go, so I killed two birds with one stone and intentionally went on my leg. It was just the right temperature, and shortly after the water finally started warming up.

(Side note: Why the hell do I keep finding all these bugs on my walls? Every month or so I squish another one. This is pissing me off. I think I'll go take a shower to relax and release tightened muscles.)

 

[The Lawn]

The only thing I use the toilet for is pooping.

I take care of my morning piss in the shower, I do my mid day piss while I'm dropping the aforementioned deuce, and my evening/night piss I take care of outside while I work on my photo a day moon log.

I didn't know I was so green. Awesome.

 

[Spazticated]

Why the hell not, already do it when I feel the need and unless someone is watching me, nobody else is going to know... since its not like there's a yellow pool around the drain SINCE I WAS SHOWERING at the time, hell there's far messier things to do in the shower and nobody will know.

 

[G1eet]

I am 10 steps ahead of you. Not only do I pee in the shower already (and have been doing so since I was 14-15, being 19 now), if I am ever hyperhydrated (over hydrated) I don't flush the toilet when I pee(flushing the toilet every 30-45 minutes always seemed wasteful to me). My urine is bleach white so nobody notices . Also I pee outside every once in a while.

Haha, same here.

I've heard that the amount of water you're supposed to drink per day is half your body weight. I like to stay hydrated, but if I drank that much a day, I'd be pissing every ten minutes.

Or maybe I'm not spacing the eighty ounces right.

Don't you feel so smart now?
I don't see how saving water saves the rainforest anyway. Water is completely renewable, there is always the same amount of water on the planet no matter how much we use. Water evaporates from the ocean and falls on the rainforest. In fact, the more water we use, the more goes back into the ocean rather than sitting in tanks that never see the light of day until we use them.

Well aren't we thinking small and limited. Water is a recyclable resource yes but at a cost. Think about all the materials that need to go into recycling it and retreating it. Since recycling isn't 100% we still need to take water in from the environment which requires MORE resources. So it isn't just water that we use when we flush our toilets, in the end. Think all I said is bullshit? Too selfish to actually help the planet? Ok, the 1000+gallons per year is 1000 gallons you don't have the pay the water company for.

I am entirely, 100 percent for conservation, and aware that treating water requires energy, but the energy used to recycle and treat the water you are using everyday has already been expended, and the water is now sitting in a tank below your residence, and turning on the faucet less cannot bring back the energy that has already been used to process it. Furthermore, this would be a non-issue if the energy came from renewable sources, all you are doing is making this into an energy battle, and all I am doing is trying to demonstrate that water is a renewable resource in of its own environmental capacities, which you have shirked away from.

I think it has something to do with demand. If a lot of people use less water, the ones that treat it realize that they don't have to treat as much as they do and use less energy. As for the water being used and going to the ocean...it's not that simple, because then it becomes salty water and takes a lot more processing.
