Waste not, want not.

A Brazilian environmental group is trying to get the country’s residents to, well, urinate in the shower.

The group says that if a single household flushed the toilet just
one fewer times a day, it would save a whopping 1,157 gallons of water
each year. The organization has even come out with a video
touting the idea. Urine is sterile, so peeing in the shower is harmless
(except if someone has a disease that can be transmitted through their
pee, such as hepatitis).

That's a mighty big 'if"...

Fortunately, we here at Exurbanleague have come up with a even-more eco-friendly potty: It's made from local, reusable materials, employs proven technology to recycle 100% of human waste, and, as a bonus, uses no water whatsoever.

Optional extras include a lifetime supply of recyclable toilet paper in the form of back issues of the New York Times.
