BAMBOO TOOTHBRUSH

Hello All,

few days ago I came across something called bamboo toothbrush, as I never heard about them I wanted to find out more information about them and I have to say, a new world completely disclosed to me...

The best thing about bamboo toothbrushes is that they are 100% biodegradable, therefore they are considered sustainable for the environment. Bamboos grow very quickly and it is able to supply a very sustainable timber in just few years time.

The problem is that nowadays, traditional plastic toothbrush are not recycled and, at times, they end up offshore.


This link here below shows the journey that a plastic boothbush makes, worthed to have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd_C3YK3kI4




All of us should be committed in the cause of recycling and protect our environment!!
First of all, we should try to find another use of our toothbushes after they have done with our teeth and secondly we can try to swap our habits and opt for something more sustainable and recyclable.

Let's save our environment... save our oceans!!!

DROP BY DROP WATER PURIFING

Hello guys,

I just found a new way to purify water in our homes!

It is called "Drop by Drop" and it has been invented by a student of the Royal College of Art's (RCA) masters programme in Innovation Design Engineering.

The project consists on recreating a mini Amazone forest under a glass dome, in this way when the light shines into the plants, they will start the photosynthesis and transpire. At this point, the water will be drawn from the roots into the leaves in form of vapour and the moisture can be collected as purified distilled water. 

Also, this system will also allow to releases oxygen into the room.

There can be used any kind of plants or herbs, and this mini biosphere utilizes the keys elements the nature such as transpiration, warmth, light and humidity to purity water. Dirty waters coming from kitchen or bathroom can be poured in the plants and the system will purify them.

This project is still at its beginning and Ghosh, the engineer who invented it, hope this idea can be implemented in the rooftops of the British houses while some other engineers are interested to apply it in China in order to help to fight the high pollution level of the country.

It seems to me a great idea and I wist THE BEST TO LUCK to this innovative project!!
