Urinate on the compost heap to save the planet says the National Trust.

OK! Guys will like it but wifey won't.

[ArrogantBustard]

Not sure about “saving the planet” ... but it is a great source of nitrates.

[kromike]

I prefer to urinate on photos of Al Bore & Barry Obammy.

Ping.

> Men should urinate outside on their compost heaps to help fertilise their gardens and save on flushing the lavatory, the National Trust has urged.

Don’t waste it on compost heaps: instead pee on the roses. They thrive on the nitrates and will reward your efforts with amazing blooms.

It’s true.

How wonderful to know that I've been saving the planet for years!

At our getaway home in the remote desert, I usually use the "male bathroom" under a Joshua tree when nature calls. Of course, I do so because I want to put off as long as possible the $25 fee to have a 1,000 gallons of water delivered to my underground cistern.

And to think I always thought I was cheap. Now I realize I'm practically Captain Planet!

I live in the sticks. I go when and where the mood strikes me.

I call it bonding time with the dogs.

And to think how much time I wasted yelling at my young nephews to stop doing that in their back yard and to get into the house. Tsk, tsk. Of course this doesn’t mention anything about sanitation or health risks. We can go back to oozing, stinking ditches down the streets, just like in the middle ages, heck even Victorian days!

What about getting caught for ‘indecent exposure’? ;-)

Newspapers are a prime candidate for biodegrading. So what they're really saying is, we should all urinate on The Telegraph.

Come to think of it, I can think of quite a few other, even better, candidates for this treatment as well. The New York Times... The Los Angeles Times... and others...

As Dave Berry used to say — “You can’t make this stuff up!”

Ok All of you on the Weekly Garden Thread - lets save the planet!

News update. Congress to hold umbrellas for the 2010 elections.

[Red Badger]

Okay!.............

Male urine is better than female urine because it is slightly less acidic.

I had no idea that urine was discriminatory.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Finally an excuse for my nocturnal sojourns into the back yard should the neighbors get nosy.

“What the h@ll are you looking at, I’m composing here!”

I and my 7yr old son already do. Gotta get a thunder jug (chamber pot) for the wife to contribute.

Men should urinate outside on their compost heaps to help fertilise their gardens and save on flushing the lavatory, the National Trust has urged.

So many of environmentalism's recommendations involve abandoning basic sanitation measures instituted to prevent the spread of disease. Urinate outside, don't flush when you urinate inside, don't shower frequently, don't wash your clothes so often, use a single square when wiping, etc. Modern sanitation has largely eliminated diseases which plagued humanity like dysentery and typhoid fever - and environmentalists want to discard that to feel better about the planet.

One man's "compost pile" is another man's constitution.

“Male urine is better than female urine because it is slightly less acidic.”

I would have thought that urine would retard the composting process because of this rather than advance it.
