Is it wise to go pee pee outside instead of using the toliet?

Question

Cause I can save 1-3 gallons of water per flush depending on the toliet. What do u all reckon is a good idea? Cause urine goes away in dirt and it's easy!

Answer 1

My husband and son do this often and it really bugs me.  At least urine that is flushed down a toilet is treated before it goes back into the ground water.  Your direct urine to dirt does not.  if you want to make an environmental statement, don't flush the toilet every time after you "pee pee".  Put the lid down, to prevent the smell.  You can save just as much or more by limiting your flushes and your neighbors won't catch you with your pants down.

Answer 2

Yes it is! It saves 3 gallons of drinking water and makes my cats have to mark their territory all over again!  What a hoot!!

Answer 3

But you still have the smell that will eventually developed from peeing outside.  How about just holding it unti you are ready to do #2 as well so you can kill two birds with one stone. :p

Answer 4

I pee in the backyard all the time. the grass looks good.

i don't pee in the front yard the cops have no sense of humor.

Answer 5

You couls get anintall a waterless urinal, but after all that expense, it would be just a fun to pee outside. There is something exhilirating  about whipping it out and going in the great outdoors. Just quit peeing on my tomater plants

Answer 6

Oh, that sounds like a really 'wise' idea!

Have you considered installing a more efficient toilet?

Answer 7

I urinate out side all the time and there is no foul smell out side my house...besides dogs, deer, coons, and all other kinds of animals urinate outside unless you live next to a water treatment plant I don't think you are going to have a problem with the smell.

Answer 8

Ideally, you should get a composting toilet, or an outhouse, but it is fine depending on the area you live in.  I have heard that just about every alley in NYC is an outdoor toilet but you do have to make sure that the old widow lady across the street isn't at the window looking for her cats at the same time.

Answer 9

yes , you are a genuis!!  you should getting the nobel peace prize instead of al gore, and I bet he uses a toilet on his airplane, then dumps it out over the ocean.......

Answer 10

DYN that in some cultures urine is kept and drank as a beverage - no kididng.

Answer 11

where do you think people went pee-pee before the invention of the toilet?:) If you check history some European(no pun intended)cities had their populations almost completely wiped out from plagues that were caused by raw sewage being dumped into their streets. So  maybe the small cost of a gallon of water doesn't seem so bad after all.

Answer 12

If I say "yes" to your answer, I should say "yes" too, when others ask the same question.

Do you know, what will be happened if all of your neighbor do the same thing?

Answer 13

Not if you live in the Big City.

Answer 14

ok eww, dont pee outdside that's just gross, i've only peed outside once, cuz i had to.

i have one of those toilets that doesn't use much water, the only problem is they get clogged all the time, i would get one that flushes harder.

Answer 15

Depends on how much space you have.  If you do it often near the house the smell will get pretty bad.

Answer 16

Yea, sure.  Just make sure you're far away from people and no one is videotaping you!  

Hey if it snows outside, you can write your name in the snow!!!

Answer 17

Don't you pee on my yard! :-)

Answer 18

Pee in a little box.  It is the next step up to being civilized!

Never know who is peeping outside ;-)

Or just don't flush when you pee until you do #2

Answer 19

Campers, ranchers, and other such people do it to temporarily mark there camp, or pasture to keep bears, coyotes, wolves,etc away.

Answer 20

Yes, it's a great idea

Answer 21

if you do that, it will be better if you will land it on soil so plants will be watered hehehe... if you want, do #1 and #2 at the same time making sure they land in soil. but don't let people see you, that is not wise

Answer 22

No, Its Human Waste. If you have a Well, or pipes underground, I highly Suggest you don't pee outside, because your water could get infected, and or if you have water from a Local Source it could get into there..

Answer 23

Most people including myself have been doing that for years already ,just to keep drunken friends out of the clean bathroom

but it also saves many buckets of water

My dog already knew about it

and the trees are very happy with a bit of uric acid

that is why dogs and trees are friends
