Why is it important not to flush the toilet after urinating?

We do it automatically, without thinking. A quick visit to the toilet, a quick flush, and voila, we forget. Yet this seemingly harmless, automatic action has a real impact: dozens of liters of drinking water wasted every day just for a quick pee. What if we injected a little common sense into our habits?

We often forget that each flush uses 3 to 9 liters of drinking water. Yes, perfectly clean water, the same water we use for drinking or cooking. And what’s all this for? To flush away a few milliliters of urine.

Imagine a family of four, each flushing the toilet five to six times a day. The result: over 100 liters of water used per day… or over 36,000 liters per year! That’s the equivalent of over 500 washing machine cycles…
