What People Won’t Do to Make Hippies Take a Shower
This is a hilarious concept.
- Step 1: Build ridiculously expensive shower to rinse hippies clean.
- Step 2: Fill bathtub with swamp mud and plants.
- Step 3: Tell Hippies its okay to drink their bath water.
- Step 4: Laugh and go Eeeeewww!
From the DailyMail here:
Eco-thinkers have come up with an amazing new way to create drinking water – by putting plants in the bottom of a shower.
Designers Jun Yasumoto, Vincent Vandenbrouk, Olivier Pigasse, and Alban Le Henry came up with the concept when looking for new ways to recycle precious H2O.
After you have washed in the special eco-shower the water passes down into a series of physical filters and is treated by plants such as reeds and rushes growing around your feet. Yasumoto, 34, said: ‘These plants have been proven to be able to remove the chemicals from your shampoo.
”With this project, we tried to combine the pleasure of taking a shower with the satisfaction of recycling water. We wanted the recycling process to actually interact with the use of shower.
Any society that has the ability to create a retarded shower like this also has the ability to desalinate ocean water. Water does not need to be recycled, therefore it is not precious. But having a monstrosity like this “Shrek-in-the-Swamp shower” in an Eco-worshiper’s home is not about conserving water anyways- its about inflating their already swollen ego and sense of self-worth in the way they carry out their religious rituals. Catholics kneel and take communion. Eco-religionists recycle bottles and bathe in holy water generated from their own showers.

So…it’s the same thing as when I dump “grey water” in to my yard, (Wash machine, dish, bath and shower water.) and it’s recycled by the plants and trees there. Eventually it returns to the water table and is pumped back up by my well pump to my house. (That cycle will take longer than I’ll live of course.)
All the same coolness, but it doan cost me squat and I don’t have to bathe with plants.
Photoshop some Marijuana plants onto that photo and you would be even closer to the hippy dream.
