Chilled water in summer consumes large amounts of electrical energy in our refrigerators. But, filling up with fresh water in summer has been solved for millennia with  the jug or pitcher. The evaporation of water through a porous material allows us to build ecological, simple and efficient refrigeration containers. The jug is part of the

This solution uses new technology to make sleepers more efficient, reduce waste and generate clean energy. While innovation, design and technology have transformed most traditional industries, some things have remained unchanged for centuries.

Australian brewery Young Henrys is working to combat climate change with an unusual ingredient: algae. The fermentation process that takes place during beer production releases large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), which can contribute to climate change. It takes about two days for a tree to absorb the CO2 released by the production of a
