A crash course in changing the world.
I first thought to write about Michel Pritchard's water bottle. I found his presentation in Ted Talks, and for me is a great and simple idea, that can really improve the life of a lot of people.
But then I figured that he's bottle water is already popular (he's been on TED talks) so why no try harder and find some other invention?
So there I was surfing the web, asking some friends when I found the Savior Bud idea. http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/10/29/savior-bud-device-produces-drin...
The Savior Bud can work in any place with trees, even where the access to clean drinking water is a matter of life and death, this novel design lets people get a little help from their plant friends. Developed by Yanko Design, the Savior Bud collects moisture directly from tree leaves during the natural transpiration cycle.
The process is simple. They say:
1. Find a broadleaf tree with lots of leaves.
2. Opening the Savior Bud like a giant clamp, surround a few leaves, and release. The Savior Bud should now be containing the leaves like you see in the picture above, sort of like a greenhouse.
3. In about four hours, the leaves will have produced about one cup of water. Turning the bottom of the bud like a faucet will release the water to be put into a separate container for drinking.”
It's no a large scale water solution, but in an emergency situation this could be the difference between life and death.
Also, in my research I cross with Ashok Gadgil invention (early mentioned by some of the members in Evoke's Network)
What Ashok Gadgil created, was a machine that can clean water trough out a process with UV light.
This inventio is less fashionable than th Savior Bud, but it can help more people. Here's the link

These were the to innovative ways that I chose that I think can help in solving the water problems that we will face in the future.
Cheers!!
