Make your own water filter and never buy drinking water again. (5) Why Hasn't Anyone Done This Before? Ingenious Ways to Get Rid of Tons of Garbage. Entrepreneurs Invent City Bench that Absorbs More Air Pollution Than a Small Forest. With great technological advances—like the industrial revolution and the subsequent oil boom—came a great impact on the environment.
As more industries began to flourish, increasing the quality of life for billions of people around the world, the quality of air began to suffer. As governments across the world began advocating for solutions that called for banning all the things, the folks in the free market who aren’t able to implement their ideas with force, began thinking up actual solutions to our world problems. Greencity Solutions are some of those folks. The tech firm saw the problem with air pollution within larger cities and they sat down and began thinking. After years of trial and error, the team at Greencity Solutions had created the CityTree.
The CityTree is an incredible masterpiece that combines art, science, and biodiversity to provide a real-world solution to the problem of low air quality. Uravu ’s zero-electricity Aqua Panels produce gallons of water from thin air. Uravu, a startup based in Hyderabad, India, has created a device that can produce water from an unlikely source–the air itself.
The company’s affordable, electricity-free Aqua Panels use solar thermal energy to convert vapor into usable water – and they should be available to the public within two years. Company Develops Revolutionary Way to Create Leather, Wood, and Bricks from Mushrooms. In a world where the average person consumes more resources than could possibly be regenerated in their lifetime, it’s no surprise to hear that our quickening resource consumption is resulting in a slow-motion collapse of the environment and all life on the planet.
However, researchers at a San Francisco Bay startup company have discovered a way to counteract this degradation. MycoWorks, a company which creates products out of fungi, believes that the answer may lie in replacing just some of the many products we consume with this entirely sustainable and renewable source material. Why Are 96,000,000 Black Balls On This Reservoir? Veritasium took a boat through 96 million black plastic balls on the Los Angeles reservoir to find out why they’re there.

Fresh drinking water machine can make gallons of water out of thin air. The machines, dubbed Skywater, were created by the Skysource/Skywater Alliance, a team of sustainability experts from Venice, California.
Skywater machines, housed in big metal boxes, are atmospheric water generators that condense water vapor from the atmosphere and turn it into drinking water. The machines can be powered by solar energy or the burning of biofuels. Depending on the model, they can be used for households, for farming or for emergency relief efforts.
Genius Ideas We Should Implement Everywhere ASAP □ This Device Pulls Water Out of Desert Air. Droughts have been making headlines across the world in recent years, from the California water crisis to Cape Town’s severe water shortage, and research suggests 25 percent of the globe could eventually be left in permanent drought due to climate change.
But what if you could simply pull water from the air? That’s the premise of a new technology developed by University of California, Berkeley researchers. It’s a water harvester that can extract water from the air, even in extremely dry climates, using no energy other than ambient sunlight. The key to the water harvester is a new class of materials called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These MOFs are solid but porous materials with enormous surface areas—an MOF the size of sugar cube can have the internal surface area as big as many football fields.
Unbroken Ground. Atmospheric water generator. Teen's invention makes water out of thin air. New Conversion Method turns Carbon Dioxide into Stone. A great deal of the carbon dioxide that our industry produces can be extracted at the source before it gets into the atmosphere, where it would otherwise act as a greenhouse gas, trapping solar radiation before it can radiate back out into space.
While the gas can be trapped, storage becomes an issue, especially given the sheer tonnage that is emitted by power plants and factories across the globe. But a new process may allow CO2 to be processed into solid rocks, made up of stable compounds that won't enter the atmosphere. How to make edible water "bottles". FREE HEAT FOREVER!

Pay-What-You-Can Organic Café in Colorado Celebrates 10 Years. SAME café, short for So All May Eat, started 10 years ago in Denver, Colorado with a simple premise.
The food served was to be mostly organic and locally-sourced, and if you couldn’t pay for it – well that didn’t matter so much. The café was more interested in presenting healthful culinary delights to all people (regardless of their ability to pay) than making tons of money. SAME, is in fact, the first non-profit restaurant in the city, and there are few like it across the country. The patrons of SAME can eat no matter how much change jingles in their pockets. The owners ask that if you can pay more for your meal, you do, so others can eat too. Instead of visiting a cash register before you leave, you stop by a donation box and offer what you can. SAME works with dozens of local farms and gardeners, a slow food organization, and several community organizations, along with patron volunteers from all over the city to make their non-profit successful.
Effective microorganism. Effective microorganisms (EM) are various blends of common predominantly anaerobic microorganisms in a carbohydrate-rich liquid carrier substrate (molasses nutrient solution) of Em Research Organization, Inc.,[1] and its commercial licensees and manufacturers.[2] In commercial agricultural amendments or for environmental applications, EM is purported to support sustainable practices in farming, improve composting operations, and to reduce environmental pollution.[3] The efficacy of EM on agricultural crops has been studied throughout the world. While some studies stated that Effective microorganisms (EM-A, EM-Bokashi) show no effect on yield and soil microbiology in field experiments as bio-fertilizer in organic farming.
Beside the application in agriculture, EM has been using in wastewater treatment. In 10 Months, This Cafe Has Fed 10,000 People With 20 Tons Of Unwanted Food.
