Thirsty Thursday: A Water Conservation Tip

Go Pee On A Tree

You are a child of earth – not of a building. When was the last time you thanked your mother? Activate and appreciate the naturalist in you and take your bathroom breaks outside.

The average toilet wastes 3 gallons of water per flush. Yikes.

Go put your coat on and begin adding your nitrogen enriched blend of liquid compost to the thirsty fertile soil. The earth will thank you for it.

Seriously. Do this. Visit Peeoutside.Org and join the millions who are volunteering to pee outside.

If it’s too cold to go outside and sprink, then that’s all the more reason to be grateful you live in a warm house. Many people don’t have that luxury.

If you live in a city and the cops catch you, let them know you’re up to big things, like re-creating the world - seeding AND watering it.

As you will with this Blog, spread your pee around. Don’t always go in the same spot. Urea, the organic compound found in the urine of mammals is one of the most widely used in fertilizers, favored by the soil for its savory qualities. So share it with every tree you see. Heck, you could might possibly potentially sell your pee! So why flush all that value down the toilet?

If you look near the base of this beautiful perennial, you might just see a rainbow.


Did you know that agriculture is quite possibly the number one cause of pollution on the planet, followed by the building industry, THEN, transportation? I mention this to remind you how crucial it is to support organic farming, the producing of goods without having to dump chemicals all over the earth.

Organic farming also creates jobs because it takes more farmers to tend to the weeds and the bugs; tasks that cheap chemicals can do quickly, but at a dangerous price.

So get going on. Create a space in your life for giving back to the planet. Set yourself free and go pee on a tree.
