Want To Save Water? Pee In the Shower
Now perhaps more than ever, people all around the world are thinking of ways to save both energy and water. However thoughtful others' attempts may be at conserving resources, perhaps just one country has the best water-saving solution: peeing in the shower.
SOS Mata Altantica, a Brazilian environmental group, says that by peeing once in the stall during a morning shower, citizens are preventing one toilet flush a day which, they say, can save up to 1,157 gallons of water per year.
The Brazilian group has so far advertised their claim to children, depicting a TV ad with cartoon characters in the shower smiling as yellow flows between their legs. To see the ad, click here and scroll down.
What do you think of this Brazilian company's attempt to save water? Should Americans start peeing in the shower, too?

I support peeing the shower. Just don't shit in there.
To each their own.
Save water: shower with a friend.
But, peeing I can understand. No pooping though. That's just gross.
wow great idea lol! XD
No pooping. I see nothing wrong with peeing in the shower, as long as you properly clean yourself up.
Well huh. I'd never thought of that before. Brazil does make a pretty good point. lol!
..start?
wewpz
But, who doesn't already pee in the shower? Hahah
XD that first comment had me laughing.... the people who live here are probably wondering wat the hells wrong with me! ^^ but i, too support peeing in the shower. save a toilet flush, save the world.
im all for peeing in shower
ahaha eww to all but peeing good no to shitting in the shower. save water.
I'd support it. Peeing in the shower isn't really as bad as some people make it seem.
What about in the bath? Should I not pee in the bath?
I live in the northwest, my town has an average rainfall of 55 inches a year. That is less than half of what the mountains around me get.
Save water, why?
@scrambledmegzntoast@hardestlevel - I was actually thinking the same thing.
@EltonxEvermore@xanga -
... i'm all for it. not that big of a deal. urine is really sterile so it's not a problem.
OMG, that commericial is hysterical!
hey, i pee in the shower. it all goes to the same place, right? :P
yeah, but keep it in the bathroom. no kitchen sink action when you wash pans.
my husband and I are all for it :D
In your own bathroom, go for it. Hell, lord knows I do.
In public showers though (dorm rooms, etc), just hold it for a real toilet. The only thing worse than waking up at 5:30, walking into a shower, and smelling urine from the next stall over is smelling it, then looking down and seeing your feet in a puddle of yellow.
*shudder*
urine actual kills the fungus that cause athletes foot. so as one of you other posters said, shower with a "buddy" and pee away your worries in the shower..... besides, if you want to experment with "water sports" the shower is the best place cause you can just clean your self up afterwards. ;)
I wouldn't mind peeing in the shower (:
It's just so convenient!
I thought everybody peed in the shower >_>
