Finwitch:

Oh well... in the Middle Ages it was the custom - even though they 
didn't have the water closets - just a potty or a hole.

And as much as we dislike the idea... I don't know if such *natural* 
things really are *polluting*.

I think the merpeople use it to fertilize their lake... Sprout 
prefers Dragon Dung, but - well, I guess the merpeople make use for 
human dung... oh, and what about THEIR excrements? OR those of the 
fish?..

Plants eat that stuff. We (and vegetarian animals) eat the plants...
