Today is World Toilet Day
 
Today is World Toilet Day, a UN recognized event, observed annually on 19 November. This international day of action aims to break the taboo around toilets and draw attention to the global sanitation challenge. 

Around 700,000 children die every year from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation - that �s almost 2,000 children a day. 

Join Louie the Loo to celebrate the little guy in the corner - your toilet! Did you know he �s a life-saver, and where toilets don �t exist, thousands die? 

This is Louie �s song:

LYRICS

I am your toilet, so how do you do.

I take away your wee, and the odd number two.


For a quiet moment, I �ll always be there.

Bring in your troubles, you don �t even have to care.


Oh think about the things you put me through.

(Things you put me through, that have been through you.)


Stuff from your body I �ll happily take,

Liquid or solid, whatever you make.


When you think of all the things that I do,

It �s time to say thanks to your loo. 


If I wasn �t there anymore,

You can only imagine disaster. 


I am a lifesaver and that is not a lie,

Where I don �t exist, thousands die.


So next time you have to, do a poo or a wee.

Thank the sanitary saints that you have a me.


When you think of all the things that I do,

It �s time, to say thanks to your loo.


La la la la la la la la la la,

La la la la la la laaa

La la la la la laa

and also a video that certainly breaks the taboo around toilets, but also

demonstrates how lucky (?) we are to not only have proper toilets, but also products to stop them smelling.
