Seriously, I did the math. 1 sink pee saves about 13.36 liters of water. 1 California almond requires about 12 liters of water to grow. That's 1.1 almonds per sink pee. Otago Uni has 8,565 male students. Assuming that A: lasses aren’t gonna do this whole sink-pee thing, and B: each guy pees 3 times a day, that’s 25,695 flushes per day. Switching to sink peeing saves 343,285 liters of water, enough to grow 377,613 almonds PER DAY. One almond costs $0.041 at Countdown. If my math is right - and it is - we’d be producing enough almonds to rake in a tasty $15,820 PER DAY. These numbers get even crazier if you do what I do and just pee out the window.
