Aqua-sun Is a company that has developed a system to purify water, which is powered by a solar pannel, and have been doing so since 1973. Thr commercial systems allow them to provide people in third world countries drinking water that is clean, and up to first world standards.
They can be used on puddles, lakes, rivers, and streams, and it can make about 100 gals per day on solar power. Now that's innovation in action!…

I would implement a policy in my country Australia, on World
Water Day 2020. By then we should have a decent government. On the day, a 'Rally for Water' will be held in the city.
My idea is to use the NSW desalination plant, which is currently running at less than 10% capacity, to operate at 100% capacity, and bottle that drinking water, which can then be destributed by aid charities to where it is needed. There is no point in investing millions of dollars into a plant that is…

I would celebrate a birthday with a game of laser tag, where the energy that runs the guns and vest come from solar energy, or green energy that is created when the person moves (Like the soccerball concept,or green watches, but slightly different)

My idea uses two technologies, one emmerging, and one existing.
Believe it or not, wireless electricity has been created! By having a device that resonates with a source device, electrical energy can be sent through air, and walking in between the two sensors does not interfear with it at all. Not only that, it is safe for people to be around.
So, my idea for powering everyday devices, is to have one large device somewhere under the floor of a house. This will be tuned into a…

In the future, I think the meal we would have could be one of two things
We are very destructive at the moment, with the way we make and process food. The meal I would eat would either follow this trend, and be some processed meat and hot chips, that wasted a huge amount of resources, but costed me next to nothing while people starve on the other side of the world
If people realise how destructive we are, I could be eating something organically produced, that benifits more…

A few years back, I joined the St Vincent de Paul's 'Vinnies Van'
project. This when local supermarkets donate food, which is then
prepared, and delivered to homeless people, who sometimes have to eat
out of the garbage.
There is more that could be done- a food stamp system like what is used in the US, would be economically benificial for the lower educted population, who simply spend more on consumer goods when given cash handouts. This is evident, with the lower…

My country has a large amount of food, but it doesn't always reach everyone.

Where would I be?
It's sad, but at the currentent rate that society is leaning towards, I simply can't see myself in 2020. Partly because the pressing social issues that we have are not being attended to. I look forward to the future, but at the same time I fear it, and do not see myself in it.

So, this is my first Envoke, and I thought I'd give it a try ^_^
One of the major issues with technology and africa, is that they do have technologies like mobile phones, but not basic infrastructure in certain areas like pipes and electricity. They still use simple machines that have long been forsaken by the western world.
The issue I would like to look at is water. Many people do not have a clean source of drinking water, and if one is avaliable, it is many kilometers…
