TV ad backs weeing in the shower

Green campaigners are trying to persuade people to take a pee in the shower instead of using the toilet.

The group from Brazil has even made a television advert to try to get more people to save water.
They say that every time you flush the loo it uses 12 litres of water. So if every household cut down on their flushing it could save loads of water.

But some health experts say that it might not be such a good idea if you don't clean your bathroom properly.

Green campaigner Dave Timms said: "It's important to save water because it helps the environment.

"Pumping water, treating water and storing it in reservoirs all uses huge amounts of energy. And saving energy helps us reduce climate change."
But it's not just flushing the loo that uses up loads of water.
Wash out
Each time you take a bath it uses around 80 litres of water.

Washing your clothes uses about 65 litres and cleaning the car about 400 litres.
The people who made the advert say they're trying to use humour to make a really important point about how everyone can do their bit to save the planet.
