PIPIBOL*: for a more fragrant and clean city!

For thousands of years homo sapiens (particularly males) looked for tire o seeking a rock or a tree to pee. We could even call it "homo peepens" ... It would will be a REALLY good idea try to get him to change that pesky habit? Men would will pee whenever they feel like. They can not hold their bladders for long, just as they can not hold your breath for a long time.
Once, I have thought about solutions to the sanitation of cities, but in spite of the ideas I had, pee public was still an unsolved problem in my head.


Then I thought, much of the urine is water. The problem is the odor and pathogens. If we could eliminate the odor and pathogens, which would really, the problem of peeing everywhere?
What if the pee fragrant stay?
What if, in addition to smelling good, pee shoo mosquitoes, including mosquitoes that transmit malaria?
Then, using the insights posted here on OpenIDEO, imagine this:


1 - A mini soccer game, where someone would use the force of the jet of pee to score goals (the people of Ghana are passionate about soccer …). The ball slides on a stick until you reach one of the goalposts;
2 - The mini game would be set in the walls of the places where people usually will pee. These places are easy to find (the smell ...);
3 - The field would be made of synthetic grass, so that no urine is splashed on user;
4 - The pee runs down the game and go through a reservoir where it would put the refill of a product which, in contact with urine, eliminate bad odors and pathogens;
5 - This product may contain natural elements that scared away mosquitoes, such as Citronella, for example, which would benefit the residents closest;
6 - The refills can be replaced by neighbors, local businesses, government and large corporations;
7 - Above the field, there would be an area for placement of product logos of sponsors, just like a real soccer stadium.


That's it. It's a simple concept. SEE THE IMAGES! They speak better than my English. What did you think?
