University students are being urged to poo in the shower in order to save water as part of a new campaign launched by students Debs Torr and Chris Dobson, from the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich.
The Shit, Shower and Save (water) campaign is due to begin shortly on campus where they want the university’s 15,000 students to drop their first brown trout of the day while having their morning shower.
Mr Dobson told us “I had the idea when I was travelling in Asia. Many locals used to the poo in the shower. Well strictly speaking they didn’t. But I did. And often they asked me to leave their establishments. So that shows how much they know. So I’ve brought the idea over here.”
Whilst receiving nationwide media attention, the brown shower campaign has already suffered setbacks with rival ecological student groups who claim that merely pooing in the shower to save water does not go far enough.
One rival activist told us “If students would just make a pledge to poo every other day then they would need to take less showers. Even better, students should avoid showering completely and instead poo in bed.
“And do you realise how much water the under cover dead otter campaign would save us? A whole sea. That’s how much. A whole sea.”
