What happened on UCreateChange.com (12-18 Apr 2010)
The TV tells us that climate change is bad. It’s true. Sadly, most of us might know it but we won’t feel it.
That’s frightening because it’ll amount to just lip service on our part – all talk, no action. And climate change is getting worse… just step outside, ain’t it hot? Eventually, we’d live on our own wastes and making homes in wastelands.
Thankfully we’ve got a small group of people who are doing something about it.
Like these architects who turn their buildings into eco-friendly paradises. Or hydrogels that might just replace plastics. Or a safer way to dispose of Evian water bottles with hungry fungus.
These Indonesian students took the cake. They might have just solved Indonesia’s landfill problem by inventing a method that uses oranges to dissolve styrofoam. That’s Nobel prize worthy!
And if you’ve a unwanted phone. Why not recycle it into gold?
This is just the tip of the iceberg (or what’s left of them in the Artic circle), there are many more inventions that can save our world. And if technology got us here, perhaps it’s technology that will get us out of this mess.
If you know of any save-the-world type inventions, tell us about it in the comments!
