Sustainable living advocates the world over are reportedly hailing a new environmental hero today after Seattle resident Becca Strombold valiantly peed in the shower this morning instead of her toilet.
“I mean, it was still like a 20-minute shower that ultimately used at least 10 times the amount of water of one toilet flush, but regardless, no doubt she is the next Greta Thunberg,” said Climate Pledge Director Sally Fouts.
Reporters swarmed Strombold this afternoon as she exited her house, clamoring to ask her about her sudden rise to fame as Mother Nature’s fiercest defender.
“You know, last week, I drank a soda without using a disposable straw—maybe I am a god?” said Strombold as she pushed past everyone to her car. “All I know is that last night I tweeted that I scraped mold off my tortillas for my microwaved quesadilla because I was too lazy to go to the grocery store. Next thing I knew, my tweet was being shared on Vice’s Instagram as the ‘future of environmental leaders’ because of my commitment to reducing my carbon footprint. Telling everyone about peeing in the shower this morning just sent everything through the roof.”
Strombold went on to tell a New York Times reporter “yes” when asked how she felt about the global temperature rising a full degree. It was later reported that Strombold has already received a three-figure book deal about her experience of saving the world once when she accidentally recycled a wine bottle.
