Grow your plants by… urinating

When Nature Calls The old-aged excuse of “I’m peeing on the bushes to help water them” is one step closer to becoming legitimized. Recently, Eddie Gandlemam released a new conceptual design for men’s urinals titled “When Nature Calls”. Rather than the conventional white porcelain urinal, Gandleman designed a sort of filtration system, equipped with four urinals. The idea essentially is that, when a man excretes urine into the urinal, it will be taken and filtered so it may be used to water plants situated in between and on top of the urinals. Although only in the conceptual stages, Gandleman proposes that urine is to be filtered through charcoal, crushed limestone and greensand before ever reaching the plant.

A rather interesting idea, and perhaps maybe one day will be used by restaurants everywhere in order to reduce costs on fresh fruits and vegetables. This just might make you question where your apples are being grown.
