Doing your business in public has never been easier with the new 'P-Tree' by Sam van Veluw. What is the 'P-Tree' you ask? The simple answer is that it is a toilet that is hung on a tree for people to pee into. There are a lot of people out there that pee on the streets and leave a unpleasant smell for the rest of us to sniff up. This little toilet should take care of that problem.

The 'P-Tree' by Sam van Veluw is connected to sewage lines so you do not have to worry about harming the environment. With this little baby hanging from a few tress or poles in major cities or in obscure forests, there would be less oder flying around and a cleaner environment.
