  Idea details
the "green toilet " - at domestic level ...
Description
the most basic smell we face is that of urine and the idea is to utilise "urine" as a fertiliser .

Urine is an aqueous solution of approximately 95% water, with the remaining percentages being metabolic wastes such as urea, dissolved salts, and organic compounds.

Technical solution
Urine contains large quantities of nitrogen (mostly as urea), as well as significant quantities of dissolved phosphates and potassium, the main macronutrients required by plants. Diluted at least 8:1 with water it can be applied directly to soil as a fertilizer.

the way of urine must be directed with a controlled volume of water(8:1){8-urine , 1-water} and be given to the plants like-Chinese Evergreen(Aglaonema),
Peace Lily*( Spathiphyllum) which require minimum of light .
Customer benefit
These plants help filter the air of harmful VOC's (volatile organic compounds) such as benzene and other pollutants like formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and carbon monoxide that cause eye and throat irritation, headaches and nausea (a.k.a. sick building syndrome) and are suspected of causing cancer .

These plants can handle moisture and survive with little light.

In addition to their health benefits, plants also make bathrooms more aesthetically pleasing and help connect us back to nature.
