It’s a reflex we never question: hop, a quick pee, and immediately, we flush. Automatic. But have you ever thought about the water this represents? What if this banal action was actually a significant source of waste? You might be surprised by what this innocuous routine reveals…
Liters of drinking water… for a few drops?
Every time you flush the toilet, between 3 and 9 liters of drinking water go down the drain. Yes, perfectly clean, treated, and precious water, just to rinse off a little urine. Imagine using a bottle of mineral water to rinse a toothbrush… Do you see the problem?
For a family of four, this can represent up to 100 liters of water each day , or more than 36,000 liters per year . This is a considerable amount when you consider that in some parts of the world, access to drinking water remains a daily challenge.
