ACT4: Making a Water Alliance
The sun had finally set, and our plane came down over the runway. We all hastily exited the plane that we had been sitting in for the past twelve hours. As we entered the air port, we were greeted by a wave of heat. My group sat down and we all started to fill out our forms. When we had answered all of the questions asked by the customs officer, he told us, "Welcome to India."
My school trip to India was an amazing, eye opening experience. We drove through the…

Clean Water for 1/2 a Cent a Day
Michael Pritchard thinks the reason we haven't solved the world's water problem is that we think it's too big. So he invented a water bottle that filters filthy water into safe drinking water.
Watch this great video on TED to see it in action.

This sounds like a great solution to me!

husk power systems-Powering the unpowered
The State of Bihar in India is one of the most underdeveloped states in the country. The infrastructure in the state is appalling.
Major parts of the state does not have electricity.At a national level there are 125000 villages which are not electrified.
Husk Power systems, was started by four people and are engaged in producing electricity by burning rice husks. They are now supplying electricity to 80 villages in Bihar. While this environment-friendly biomass… Continue

[Power Shift: Act] Powering a car through the use of x-rays, salt water, and possibly antigravity? We can!
| So I've done some research into the use of renewable energy, especially that which applies to cars. I think a great goal to work torwards is powering cars cleanly and cheaply. Now, due to my (somewhat limited) research on the subject, it seems we can! Here's how. First thing first, I saw on youtube (Hey, you can learn a lot from youtube) that a man recently found a way to cause salt water to… |

The Uncultured Project and LifeStraw
LifeStraw and LifeStraw Family are amazing!! http://www.vestergaard-frandsen.com/lifestraw.htm
There is no doubt in my mind that if we support them, get a LifeStraw into the hands of every kid in Africa, and a LifeStraw Family filter into every household, we will be saving millions upon millions of lives.
I discovered the LifeStraw through this amazing guy named Shawn. He's the brain…

Kajiado Shallow Wells Project
As the mission brief summarized, the 3 most urgent consequences of the water crisis are water-related disease and death, lost time and potential and wasted resources. Clearly then when addressing water issues, one needs to look not only at access to clean water but also issues of proximity to the water source as well as sanitation. This is an area that AMREF has been working on and perhaps I am (just a tad) biased in choosing…

Hi,
Check out this project of providing clean/sterilized/drinking water: http://www.lifesaversystems.com/
They work pretty much like the Lifestraw, except it can handle larger quantities.
Cheers,

s*** Book, the big necessity is very informative about clean water. Rose George's book is one of the best.
Excreta, turds, poo, s***, etc. are all terms for something that induces disgust in most. This response is innate and indeed wired into use at a visceral level and a key to survival.…

Pedal Your Water Clean
I've always been fascinated by objects with multiple functions: Swiss Army knives, chairs that fold into step ladders. And I've always wondered why there is not more thought given to what is sometimes called 'Appropriate Technology' - modest designs that fit the environment, do the job and fill a need- or even multiple needs- at a modest cost.
Both of these characteristics are met in spades by the Aquaduct - a bicycle with a water tank… Continue

Lemon peel powered iPhone
My wife makes Dr. Oz green drink daily. She uses two lemons. We usually dry and give them as gifts to friends with fireplaces b/c they burn very well.
I suggest using them to heat h2o to steam and use the steam to move a turbine, store the electricity in a battery then use that charge our small electronic devices.

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
