A local government official in the Netherlands is recommending people save money and resources by peeing in the shower.

Bert Wassink, a council member in the Drenthe municipality of Aa en Hunze, said residents can reduce water consumption by combining shower time with toilet time, DutchNews.nl reported Wednesday.

Wassink made his comments as part of the council's 2013 sustainability initiative, which has saving water as one of its focal points.

The official said peeing in the shower "saves lots of clean water and is good for the environment."

"If you combine showers and peeing, you save a lot of water and money, so why not?" asked Wassink, who said he makes the practice a daily habit.

You’ll have to take a shower at my house to find out what’s in it.

During my entire stay at college I washed all my clothes as I used them by rinsing them out in the shower with soap and water. I then wrang them out and hung them to dry in my room. Strnge how I had so much more spare time back then without all the conveniences expensive appliances have broght me.

If you don’t have a kidney or bladder infection, urine is pretty much sterile when it comes out, no big deal.

This is just a trick, to get europeans into the shower more than once a month.

Guy runs out - HEY! No peeing in the pool.

Other guy says - Why not? Everyone pees in the pool.

First guy says - Yea but not off the diving board.

“Dutch official: Save H20, pee in shower”

How about we just come over and pinch a loaf on your desk. That would save water too.
