The Physalia

a good inventor invents things with many possible purposes so more people can benefit from it. Physalia caught my attention it can be used for several things the main thing is that it purifies the water and it is self-supporting so no fuel or carbon dioxide emissions are needed. There is a shortage of clean water but not of the water itself so this boat could go up and down the rivers with people and still help the society in the water issue. I think that it is what you cal a win win situation. Vincent Callebauts the man behind the idea got the idea from a jellyfish and the boat is shaped by it. He as also made other ideas like the Lilypad which is a city floating on the water. The idea was that climate refuges could live there because the whole island is self-supporting and has space for 50 000 inhabitants and workers.

The Lilypad

With time the world changes and so do we or right now it is we who changes the world. I’m determined to changes the world for the better so I have decided to try new things. One of them are Envirophone the idea is to send you old phones that you no longer use and get money for it which is grate. And they can recycle them for us but the big thing here is the money it can make many people interested in the idea, every one needs money and every one have phones so why the fuck not. But as I have discovered that they are a bit slow I have been waiting for the packet to send my phones in for almost a week now but it is for a good cause so I can wait a bit longer.
