厕所日（11月19日）。厕所可以拯救生命，因为人体排泄物会传播致命的疾病。世界厕所日旨在激励人们采取行动，应对全球环境卫生危机。当“自然呼唤”来临，我们就需要厕所。然而，没有厕所的人高达数十亿，这意味着，维持人类生命的水和土壤被大量未经收集或处理的人类排泄物污染，我们将环境变成了一个开放的下水道。我们必须建立与生态系统相协调的厕所和卫生系统。@联合国 http://www.un.org/zh/events/toiletday/index.shtml

World Toilet Day (19 November)

Toilets save lives, because human waste spreads killer diseases. World Toilet Day is about inspiring action to tackle the global sanitation crisis. When nature calls, we need a toilet. But, billions of people don’t have one. This means human faeces, on a massive scale, are not being captured or treated – contaminating the water and soil that sustain human life. We are turning our environment into an open sewer. We must build toilets and sanitation systems that work in harmony with ecosystems.
