Conservation By Urination
By Freakonomics

According to the Brazilian environmental organization SOS Mata Atlantica, a household that flushes its toilet one less time per day saves more than 1,100 gallons of water per year. So the organization has launched a TV ad campaign encouraging Brazilians to avoid a flush by peeing in the shower. The ad shows cartoons of everyone ? from aliens to King Kong ? urinating in the shower and ends with the slogan: ?Pee in the shower! Save the Atlantic rainforest!? (Hmm: another Pareto improvement?)

If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down!

what about a motel shower?

Well, that brought to mind...

Would you do it in a house?
Would you do it with a mouse?
Would you do it in a box?
Would you do it with a fox?
Would you, could you in a car?
Would you, could you in a bar?
Would you do it here? or there? (picture hands moving)
