 巴西提倡節水新招——淋浴時小便
Brazilians get unusual shower tip [ 2009-08-07 14:15 ]
巴西環保組織SOS Mata Atlantica近日在電視上推出一個動畫廣告，用幽默的形式向人們宣傳一個新的節水理念：淋浴時小便也節水。在廣告中，圣雄甘地、金剛、自由女神像、希區柯克電影里的精神病患者、外星人以及一個坐在輪椅上的男子分別在一個半透明的浴簾后面一邊淋浴一邊“方便”。該環保組織表示，每個人每年用來沖廁所的水多達4380升，而這個廣告是在以幽默的方式為人們提供一個善待環境的選擇。

A video encouraging people to urinate in the shower to save water has caused a storm of interest in Brazil.
The animated video has aired on TV and shows dozens of characters that include Mahatma Ghandhi, King Kong, the Statue of Liberty, Psycho, an alien, and a man in a wheelchair relieving themselves behind a semi-transparent shower curtain.
It was commissioned by SOS Mata Atlantica, a green group devoted to preserving the Atlantic rainforest. The forest once covered Brazil's whole Atlantic seaboard but only around 12 per cent now remains. Much of that destruction was to make way for cities like Salvador, Recife, Rio de Janeiro and S?o Paulo.
Organizers said each person can use up to 4,380 liters of water a year flushing the toilet and described the video as a fun way of offering an environmentally friendly alternative.
"In these times of financial crisis when the answer to everything is 'no' we wanted to bring a 'yes' to people's everyday lives, encouraging them to pee in the shower," said Mario Mantovani, the group's mobilization director.
"The environment appreciates the amount of water saved on each flush, which can be as much as 12 liters."
