Forest-Friendly Urinals

The Aandeboom P-Tree Encourages Public Urination

— July 10, 2011 — Art & Design
Laugh all you want, but I love the whole concept of the Aandeboom P-Tree. During those desperate times when nature calls, you can rest assured that this design will be there to provide a more sanitary solution.

Never has public urination been so promoted and glorified until the Aandeboom P-Tree came along. It's a forest-friendly urinal that was provided at the Denmark Roskilde Festival. The toilet is attached to a tree and has a hose that can be combined and connected to a waste pipe with a container. So if you're concerned about relieving yourself on a stump, be comforted in knowing that you're not. I would certainly want the P-Tree around when I'm at a music festival or in the city when it's last call and most bars will not let you use the restroom.

The Aandeboom P-Tree is a beneficial item that takes the piss out of alcohol-fueled festival goers -- literally.
