It turns out that Elaine was way out of line to chastise George for peeing in the shower during a classic "Seinfeld" episode.

Urinating in the shower should not only be tolerated, it should be encouraged — at least according to IFL Science. By draining your bladder down the drain, you're actually saving the planet.

IFL Science did the math:


So the more you pee in the shower, the less you pee in the toilet, and the less water you use — even when you account for the water lost during the average 21 seconds it takes to whiz. IFL Science estimates that reducing toilet urination by just once a day would save 2,190 liters (579 gallons) of toilet water over the course of a year.

Of course, you could simply refrain from flushing as much as well. (If it's yellow, let it mellow ...)

Or get a bucket to catch the water that hasn't heated up when you run the shower and use that to flush.

Regardless of what method you choose, you'll be helping to conserve water, something all Californians especially should be doing.
