To pee or not to pee? UEA students call for people to wee while showering to help save water

Two UEA students are urging people to wee in the shower to help save water

The contentious campaign, called #gowiththeflow, is the idea of University of East Anglia (UEA) students Debs Torr and Chris Dobson.

It was inspired by the success of Brazilian eco-group ‘SOS Mata Atlântica’, who encouraged people to urinate during their first shower of the day to save the 12 litres of water used each time a toilet is flushed.

With East Anglia receiving a third less rainfall on average than the rest of England, combined with one of the highest rates of housing development, it is hoped UEA students can help contribute to reducing water wastage.

The two students are representing UEA in Npower’s national Future Leader’s Challenge, encouraging students to come up with an environmental initiative on campus. They form one of two UEA teams in the final, where they are competing against 28 other individuals to go to the Amazon Rainforest to work with the Kaxinawá tribe.

Charming, still I suppose it is better than peeing in the bath!!lol

Or the swimming pool !

But what if you dont need a shower when you want to pee!!

You'd have to put Velcro  fasteners on all your clothes or you'd be shattered with all that undressing and dressing, or wear a flasher mac

be peeing in the street next.

In Northampton they have stone round urinals in the street for men to pee in. from above it would look like a daisy type shape with cut outs for you to step into. it comes up to the waist. Absolutely gross if you ask me but apparently it stops men peeing in the street!!

also these she wees. they now make she wee pants so you can slide it in and wee with your pants on!!!

do your pants get wet?
