World Toilet Day, November 19th
World Toilet Day has been declared to be on the 19th of November each year. 2.6 billion people around the world lack access to even the most basic form of toilet. World Toilet Day is a reminder to people in all countries to take action, to increase awareness of toilet user's right to a better toilet environment, and to demand for it from toilet owners. As such, it is also the toilet user's duty to contribute towards its maintenance, cleanliness and hygiene. The public marks the day to practice toilet etiquette, the restroom community-at-large celebrates with a new declaration for the forthcoming year.
