Peeing in the shower, some of us do it, some of us think it
is gross. I am going to show you why peeing in the shower could help save the
planet, and hope you learn to see some situations in life for more than face
value. There are so many things that all of us can do to help mitigate the
effects of climate change. There is a lot of great suggestions regarding how
each individual can pitch in to reduce our impact on the planet:
For some it can seem daunting; many of us are overwhelmed by
the vast amount of information out there, and all the perceived steps required
of us in order to make a difference. When presented with the effort required in
order to minimize the effects of climate change, one can feel burdened and
afraid that they are not able to drastically change their lifestyle. But let me
remind you of the power of aggregate effort. If we all make at least a little effort,
the additive effect will be great. Consider a penny, it doesn’t seem like much
money; if every United States citizen added a penny to a pot of money, that
would be equivalent to over three million dollars! So I hope you realize that a
little effort can make a big difference. There are numerous ways to help
mitigate the effects of climate change without having to completely change your
lifestyle:
One simple way to minimize your impact on the climate and
save money and time, all from the comfort of your home is to change the way you
use water. Increased water usage means higher water bills, heating bills,
carbon emissions associated with warming and transporting the water, and a
worsened drought that many areas are currently experiencing. There are copious
actions that will reduce water usage; the one that I hope gets you interested
is peeing in the shower.
The next time someone berates you for peeing in the shower
like George Costanza, you can refute his or her claims with your own - you are
saving the planet. In 2014 the University of the UK started a campaign, urging
the students to urinate while they shower. They determined that if a household
urinated in the shower rather than flushing the toilet one extra time a day,
they would save 1,157 gallons of water a year. If you were worried about
hygiene, the university released with the campaign a list of literature that
suggest there is no hygiene issue pertaining to urinating in the shower. Not
only will you help save the planet, you will help your wallet with les water
usage. So the next time you shower, remember the peeing can help prevent the
plight of the planet.
In addition the above suggestion, there are many other small
ways to reduce water usage and save money - including but not limited to:
-Reduce the amount of time you are in the shower
-Turn off the shower as you wash up and turn it back on to
rinse off
-Get low flow showerheads and toilets
-Use rainwater-collecting containers for watering gardens
-Don’t leave the water running while washing dishes
-Use yard landscaping that requires less water
-Use your washing machine on the cold setting
