reno Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 http://www.treehugger.com/toilet-llqq-001.jpg 19 November is World Toilet Day – a day to celebrate the humble, yet vitally important, toilet and to raise awareness of the global sanitation crisis. "With lack of toilets being responsible for thousands of child deaths everyday, we need to start talking about this sticky subject. I know I couldn’t go without my loo - could you?" - * 2.5 billion people do not have somewhere safe, private or hygienic to go to the toilet * One gram of faeces can contain 10 million viruses, one million bacteria, 1,000 parasite cysts and 100 parasite eggs * The simple act of washing hands with soap and water after going to the toilet can reduce diarrhoeal diseases by over 40% * Safe disposal of children's faeces leads to a reduction of nearly 40% in childhood diarrhoea http://www.wateraid.org/uk/get_involved/world_toilet_day/default.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
