Oh shit! Nature calls! #13

---

When nature calls, nature calls. And doing it outside, if done correctly, isn't wrong at all. The problem is knowing how to do it right.

When using nature as a toilet, we shouldn't just think about our urgent need, but also the impact the result will have, visually and invisibly. The visual part is obvious, you shouldn’t leave the shitty result and the paper exposed and visible. It destroys the landscape for the next person's selfies.

The invisible impact is actually the worst. Most animals use poo and pee, among other things, as a way of establishing territory and looking for mates. So if we leave ours there, we could be interfering with this natural communication process. In addition to that, our poop can contaminate watersheds or groundwater, which is a process of one year to decompose.

Then there's the question of paper.

What kind of paper do we use? Is it real paper? Well, the truth is that if it's not 100% recycled or bamboo, it's not organic or natural, and as such, it will leave toxic components in the soil.

What's the solution then?

• Choose the place carefully and avoid proximity to water bodies;

• Make a hole in the ground and cover everything in the end;

• Opt for real toilet paper to clean yourself, or take whatever you use with you after you are done in your "toilet" bag.

  
  

You've been cool'd!
