The climate change consensus extends beyond climate scientists

I don't normally wash my hands after going #1 unless I'm handling food, and even then it's a formality. This is because I don't urinate on my hands. Just to clarify, I always wash my hands after #2.

None of that matters much though. How much water goes down the toilet compared to all other drains? 10%? Perhaps a urinal makes the most sense as far as water conservation goes in the bathroom. There's no need for urine to mix with a couple gallons of water before it goes away.

Brushing your teeth while on the throne is just an efficient use of time. I'm sure Steve Jobs did this.

I use something about 1/4 Liter to wash my hands and face. Less for brushing my teeth in the morning. Water use,, especially in a bathroom sink, is very easily decreased to next to nothing if you shut off the tap between actions. My group was challenged to experience living without services 1 day per week and I found that I could get a very nice "shower" by standing in the tub with a wash cloth, a bucket, and 2 Liters of water. As I do when I am camping. And room temp water is only really cold when you hose yourself down at 20 Liters per minute.

I #1 out side most of the time.

I'm in an apt now, but outside for #1 is the way to go. Growing up we had 1 bathroom for 4 people, so it was necessary sometimes, but I adopted going outside even when not necessary.

All Darc -- I didn't bring my headphones to the library, but those appears to be T. Townsend Brown's drawings. Wasn't that technology incorporated into the B-2 bomber? It used the jet exhaust to bleed off the accumulated charge.

Going outside is one of life's simple pleasures.

I'm curious. Why?

Fully transparent citizen-scientists, like the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries.

It took a full half-liter bottle of water to rinse my toothbrush in Afghanistan. Everywhere else I have lived tap water was potable and I did not consider using it.

How bad was Black Friday shopping for the environment.

I seem to remember that global warming was supposed to make the deserts hotter and dryer.

This is brilliant. A thread discussing extreme water conservation, while elsewhere our compadres are discussing expending electricity to preheat EV interiors.
