water saved by peeing good

I probably pee without flushing on average 1 time a day. (i’m going to start moving to using numerals in all situations (and not the “one” until you hit five or 6 or whatever).) Let’s be conservative. Let’s call it 370. (365, but I know in reality the average should be higher, especially with Cape.)

When I spent time outside, I peed at least 2x a night. and that would be at least 50 nights. (but probably 20 more (Cape).)

370 + (50 x 2) = 470 no-flush pees
470 x 1.6 = 752 gal

but this is very conservative. still being conservative, I bet it’s more like (why have a colon here? save the visual space)

travel/work/public where I wouldn’t double-pee: (here it’s necessary) 50 days? x 3 times each time? then: -150 pees

350 (1.5 double-pee a day, plus poo on pee) – 150 pees (travel, etc.) = 300 net double-pees
8 weeks (june – september outside pees, minus travel) x 6 (honestly 7 times a week, but let’s be conservative) x 3 (pees, easily) = 144 double-pees
25 (nights on the cape) x 5 pees (at least) = 125 double-pees

300 + 144 + 125 = 569

569 x 1.6 = 910 gal

(net reanalysis: 910 – 752 = 158 gals)

150 gallon fish tank (approx.): 6 ft x 3 ft x 5 ft (if using 158)

knowing that you also pee 158 gals x 2 (approx that I would otherwise pee anyway) = 310 gals. 310 gals being (approx.): 6 ft x 6 ft x 5.5 ft (using above so adding a bit more)

here? decent amount, particularly if you see the difference from my overall pee impact. plus fertilizing.
