    Getting ready for the water charges which means less flushing of the toilet and other stuff. Yes if I go for a poo I will definitely use a big flush. If it is only a pee well then I would use a small flush or else not flush at all.

    We are all thought that pee is so dirty it must be flushed away asap. Yes I know pee isn't sterile but it isn't dirty either. People don't think of what is in their pee and I think people shouldn't say it is so filthy. How could water from someones system be so dirty, hazardous and spread disease? Unless they have an infection, pee is a clean filtered fluid.

    Your pee is composed of 95% water along with excess nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, calcium, protein and other stuff. The other 5% is our waste products (which ain't toxic, just not needed at that time). The waste was good for your body at some stage, for instance amino acids are converted to urea and uroluibin. Your kidneys filter and clean the fluid before it comes out of the system.

    Poo on the other hand is your body's dirty waste. It is all the undigested stuff your body can't use. Your body keeps the nutrients and passes out the waste as feces.

    So do you think pee is really dirty? Let us know what you think!

    Yeah I suppose out of all fluids, urine is the cleanest to come out of a human's body!
