Save the earth: urinate in the shower, researchers claim

Urinating in the shower is one of the best things you can do to help Mother Earth, according to students at England’s University of East Anglia. The two students, Debs Torr and Chris Dobson, theorize that their idea could “save enough water to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool 26 times”, BBC News reports. Dobson added that he and Torr have undertaken ample research to ensure that the idea did not pose a health risk in communal showers.

As long as the water is flowing there is no hygiene risk as urine is sterile but we would encourage that every person using the same shower consents to the challenge and if not that they don’t take part.

Dobson and Torr are the University of East Anglia’s representatives in an environmental initiative called the Npower Future Leaders Challenge. They hope to get all 15,000 students at the university to take part, and are asking them to declare their habits on Twitter and Facebook. The contentious idea has received a mixed reaction, but a school spokeswoman said the administration fully supports the students.
