{UAH} Environmental Protection 101 ~ Ugandans At Heart (UAH)

To do your part in protecting the environment, save a trip to the toilet for your shower. While a toilet flush uses between 1.28 and seven gallons of water, a shower urination only uses around .875 gallons of water, which means substituting a toilet flush for a minimally longer shower saves somewhere between 0.405 and 6.125 gallons of water. Saving a trip's worth of toilet paper each day by peeing in the shower can significantly reduce deforestation by making each roll of toilet paper last longer, reducing the need for as much toilet paper production.
