A gesture as ordinary as it is automatic, one we almost never question: flushing the toilet. Yet, simple urination doesn’t necessarily demand this reflex.

Drinking water: a valuable resource that we waste without thinking

This daily waste often goes ignored. However, with around ten trips to the toilet per day for an average family, this wastes up to 100 liters of water per day , or more than 36,000 liters per year. In comparison, some countries in the world do not always have access to drinking water on a daily rountine.
