Eldorado Posted November 19, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Hats off to Mr. Crapper Indeed. "Diarrheal diseases kill five times as many children in the developing world as HIV/AIDS. That's 5,000 children dying every single day. Not only that, but the disease kills more children than either malaria or AIDS, stunts growth, and forces millions - adults and children alike - to spend weeks at a time off work or school, which hits both a country's economy and its citizens' chances of a better future. The majority of the illness in the world is caused by fecal matter. Lack of sanitation is the world's biggest cause of infection. One gram of feces can contain 10 million viruses, one million bacteria, 1,000 parasite cysts and 100 parasite eggs. Safe disposal of children's feces leads to a reduction of nearly 40% in childhood diarrhea."

The Silver Thong Posted November 20, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Clean running water is a wonder of the world. There are still places here I will drink from a creek. However I am one of the very and few lucky and I feel for those big time that don`t have such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiogene Posted November 20, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hats off to Mr. Crapper How about the association hires South Park's Mr. Hanky, the talking poop (anyone seen him on holiday specials?) to promote the important message of ecological consciousness. "Howdy hoo, gosh, that's so swell". Ok, it's time to flush...unless it's yellow, it's mellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
