Catchy title as it can be read as Green Peace,Green Peas or the way it is meant,Green Pees. Apparently men urinating outside is quite a common occurrence in the Netherlands,but rather than trying to curb this infraction with laws or fines they came up with a way to make it work for them. The Dutch company Green Pee came up with a sustainable way to deal with the problem known as "wild peeing",they positioned urinals topped with planters. Users urinate into the openings on the sides of the planter,the urine is collected in a tank filled with hemp fiber,once the tank is full it is collected and used as fertilizer for city parks,roof gardens and urban farms. It certainly makes more sense than catching and fining the culprits and for the bonus round it adds planters around the city.
