-- Introduction to SHAKE YOUR PISS!

>>> PISS!!?!!
Yep. Even your piss can be shaken/transformed into a tool for peace! How? Well for example: If used properly your annual piss output contains enough nutrients to grow all the grain you need for a year! On the other hand, if used improperly (flushed down a water toilet), those same nutrients will pollute 13,000 gallons of drinking water a year!

In every human activity it seems, we have the option to either destroy the earth on autopilot, or else shake our old ways of doing things and get creative.

In the SHAKE YOUR PISS! pages, we highlight how basic and universal human activities: everything from poo-ing, to collecting food, to stewarding land, can be transformed into opportunities to be consciously peaceful, instead of unconsciously and habitually destructive.
