The 'Poop! The Four-Letter World No One's Talking About' infographic offers a thorough explanation of the effects of human waste.
This infographic tells the woeful tales of toilets across the globe. It opens up doors to information pertaining to the amount of water that is used to flush toilets and that if the world's population was to use a flushing toilet for their wreaking remains, 24.5 billion gallons of water would be flushed that day. It moves on to explain that the world's water supply cannot support western toilets and something needs to change.
A staggering 1 in 3 people in rural developing nations have to resort to open defecation with a lack of toilets. The realism behind human waste is more than enough to make the most strong-willed person squirm in discomfort and something must be done before our water begins to suffer.
