Walk4Air wrote: Owning to smartphones and smartwatches, individuals' activity can be monitored. Walking/cycling distance can be tracked and quantified by these two devices. This quantified data can be reflected anyhow we wish; for example, as earned points, giving the idea of a rewarding system. Rewarding walking/cycling can motivate people enough to change their transportation habits. More people decide to increase walking and cycling activity in their daily life, more their carbon footprint can be reduced. The key here is to reward them enough to make people change their transportation habits. So what if the earned points from walking/cycling could be exchanged to something that people need and value the most; money... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

The PLEASER bottle

The PLEASER bottle wrote: My idea would visualise replacing packaging for the one use throwaway plastic bottle to the domestic home in the food, pharma, cosmetic, and chemical sector resulting in sending out their product in biodegradable - compostable liners to load into the pleaser bottle in where the bottle is used for every 25-30 individual loaded liners , the benefits for this would be less product been thrown out as oxidation doesn't take place within bottle- longer shelf life, the amount of waste been recycled after would greatly improve with the make up (composition) of the liner, and the amount of up to 96% less in volume and 95% less in weight thus greatly reducing household costs on wastage driving sales again for these delivered products, driving a better carbon footprint for companies manufacturing, delivering and the household user and notably the environment, reducing the bisphenol ...

MIL develops alternative renewable energy

Murphy Inventions Limited (MIL) wrote: Electa marine fluid is a twin counter rotating vertical axis fluid driven turbine for the production of hydraulic electricity from currents. It utilises fluid dynamics to harness kinetic energy from ocean currents in a discreet and environmentally friendly manner. Mil aim to develop electa and harness constant energy from ocean currents in order to supply it directly to the irish and european grid systems through inter-connectors. It is a proposal to reduce direct dependence on oil/ coal/ nuclear energy production. Electa will provide constant 24/7 sustainable supply (non-intermittent electricity)...
