Pee-On-Earth Day

June 21 (Dec. 21 in the eastern hemisphere)

 

 

Pee-On-Earth Day is a day to bring your urine outside to nourish plants and avoid using water to flush your toilet!

Fertilize plants with your urine's nitrogen and phosphorus. PEECYCLE either directly or by depositing your contribution in a container you take outside and apply to:

- Soil, wood chips or the forest floor (not pavement)

- Your composter or compost pile (makes brown leaves and woodchips compost faster)

Or dilute it with 9 parts water to 1 part urine, and pour around plants*

*Dilute or distribute widely: Lots of urine deposited in one spot on your lawn can result in nitrogen burn!


 

Liquid Gold published in UK!

Green Books Ltd., a publisher of great sustainability books for the United Kingdom and European markets, has created a UK edition of Liquid Gold: The Lore & Logic of Using Urine to Grow Plants with some new graphics and nitrogen-to-fuel figures tailored to UK populations (yes, Britain could also grow its urine into biofuels!). See the book (including its slightly different whimsical cover) at www.greenbooks.co.uk.
