Comments on: P-Tree Urinal: A Natural Solution to an “Urgent” Problem http://inhabitat.com/p-tree-urinal-a-natural-solution-to-an-urgent-problem/ Green design & eco innovation for a better world Mon, 20 May 2013 06:38:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Beach Boy http://inhabitat.com/p-tree-urinal-a-natural-solution-to-an-urgent-problem/comment-page-1/#comment-384323 Beach Boy Sat, 02 Jun 2012 13:52:35 +0000 http://inhabitat.com/?p=118041#comment-384323 When guys see the P-Tree at an event, it's obvious what its purpose is. The message I get is that "It's okay to pee here." Without the P-Tree, I would not be as likely to just pee on a tree and would look for a port-a-potty. Hence the P-Tree will reduce the lines at the port-a-potties by redirecting males elsewhere. When suddenly the need to pee arises outdoors and I'm not near a bathroom, I'm more concerned with potentially getting hassled by the cops than I am with modesty. It's not a big deal to see a man pee in public, and I don't see why so many people are hung up on privacy. Skip the temporary walls. I don't think most guys would care about using the P-Tree as is as long as they won't get arrested for doing so. When guys see the P-Tree at an event, it’s obvious what its purpose is.

Would be very useful in a watch tower and route the tubing all the way to the ground. Where do you buy one? Would be very useful in a watch tower and route the tubing all the way to the ground.

I am more a pessimist on this one... people will just fill it with garbage. Now the challenge is... make a female version! Too much fertilizing will kill the plants though.

All you have to do is to put up a temporary wall. Two posts and some cloth or tarp would do it. Much easier to take down and move than a whole port-o-pottie, right? Turns out urine is mostly sterile and an excellent fertilizer as well, filling up those undiluted jugs of urine and/or a truck would be great too. This reduces a lot of the energy requirements of waste-water treatment plants. This is a great idea for anywhere! All you have to do is to put up a temporary wall.

But I think they should redesign the urinal so that people don't see your pen!$. This is really good for a country like India.(at least that is what I think) Good idea.

If people are going to see you peeing anyway, just skip the strap on urinal and pee on the side of the tree... This is stupid.
