The Pimen’s Toilet Animation / Picture Books

The Pigmen show up on the riverside day after day. There are no stars and no light. The most hated thing by the inhabitant of the river, the toilet factory, has arrived. Inside that toilet ship, are the little pigmen who know only to eat and sleep. In the night, as the floated toilet ship harbors, the gigantic pitman guards will bring the little pigmen over to the riverside, line them up and start posing into the river.

It was an ordinary day; the toilet ship got stuck again; smoke gradually rises. A small boat surfing through the silted-up river, there is the melody of the bell coming from the ship. It sounds boisterous. The river is muddy, the world before the eyes, completely covered in fog.

豬頭人日復一日的在溪邊出現。沒有星星，也沒有螢光。馬桶工廠來了，那是小溪住民最討厭的東西。馬桶船裡住了只需要吃和睡的小豬頭人。只有到了晚上的時候，漂浮的馬桶船靠岸，巨大的豬頭守衛會將小豬頭人帶到溪邊排成一排網溪里大便。

那是個極為平常的一天，馬桶傳又卡住了，煙氣裊裊上升。小船滑過淤積越來越嚴重的小溪，船上傳來叮噹樂聲，聽起來有點熱鬧。
小溪濁濁的，眼前的世界也一片霧濛濛的。

The severe eutrophication of Taiwan's rivers and streams caused by domestic sewage and agricultural and pastoral wastewater has been a long-standing problem. The problems of fertilizers in agricultural and rural wastewater and the treatment of animal manure are essential issues. Each pig produces about 1.6 tons of feces and urine, and the total amount of swine excretion in the country is about 750 million tons. The COA estimates that approximately 30 liters of wastewater are generated from the daily treatment of pigs, with more than 60 million tons of sewage produced annually. Without proper treatment and recycling mechanisms, discharge into rivers will disrupt river ecological balance.

家庭污水與農牧廢水造成台灣河川溪流嚴重優養化已經是相當長舊的問題。農牧廢水中肥料問題與動物糞尿處理皆為重要課題。每頭豬每年約產生1.6噸的糞尿，全國豬糞尿排泄總量約7.5億噸。農委會估計每日處理豬隻大約產生30公升廢水，一年超過六千萬噸的廢水產出。若沒有合適的處理與回收利用機制，排入河川將會破壞河川生態平衡。
