Saving water is an essential part of reducing our impact on the environment, but did you know that you can save up to 4000 liters of water a year with a simple change to your daily routine? By peeing in the shower, you can save water and help protect the planet.
To start with a bit of statistics. 52% of people admit to doing it, when in fact according to scientist that number should have been at 80%. But not everyone can say: Yes, I pee in the shower.
Now, that the secret is out, let’s see how that simple action can actually help preserve the environment.
A classic toilet flush uses between 9 to 12 liters of water, which can add up quickly over time. By peeing in the shower, you can save between 3000 and 4000 liters of water per year. Shocking! This is because the water from the shower is already flowing to the drain, so you’re not using any additional water to flush.
But the benefits of peeing in the shower don’t stop there. Using toilet paper also has a significant impact on the environment. The average person uses 23 rolls of toilet paper a year, which contributes to deforestation and pollution. The process of manufacturing, transporting, and disposing of toilet paper also uses a significant amount of energy and resources.
The good news is that by peeing in the shower, you can significantly reduce your use of toilet paper. Not only does this help reduce deforestation and pollution, but it also saves water and energy in the manufacturing process.
Of course, peeing in the shower may not be for everyone, but it’s a simple change that can have a significant impact on the environment. Small changes to our daily routines, can do a step to help protect the planet.
