Pissing in Style in PARIS

The new Eco-friendly “open-air-urinals” are causing an uproar in PARIS.

Some are planter with flowers….to make them more attractive.  The piss fertilizes the flowers.

SomeParisians find them offensive.

Others say….”when you gotta pee……..it is better than peeing on the street”.

Each urinal collects 140 liters every three days.

240 men pee in each one……every day.
