VMA till folket: kissa på växterna, inte i vattnet.

I know Swedish — to an extent — as it's the second official language in Finland.

Rarely used, so my vocabulary is absolute garbage and I'm also influenced by suomenruotsi, the Swedish that Swedish speaking Finns speak.

In Finnish, "kissa" is a cat. Just the lemma basic form for the word "cat".

I did remember how "havet" is the sea, but other than that my first impression was "oh how [adjective I can't recall], cat in the sea!"

That being said pissa is Finnish for "pee". Like the noun. So the pee of a cat is "kissan pissa".

We would consider pissa to be a bit more rude than kissa. But it does mean pee as well.

Yah it's just I'd never heard of "kissa" being a world for urine in Swedish.

But there's a very high chance that if I have, I've forgotten.

Övergödlet kommer från gräsmattor, inte urin.

Ja, det här känns lite som att man ska cykla eller samåka för att minska CO2 när industrierna fortsätter att använda lika mycket olja som förut.

Som alltid så vill moralpolisen sätta ansvaret på individen istället för storbolagen med frikort för miljöförstöring
