Ethical Fashion

2/23/2012

Kavita Parmar of IOU explains: 

"This project grew out of my frustration as a designer with the current fashion system, which is focused on creating a lot of product with very short life span and with little regard to the way it was made. The idea was to rethink the entire chain: to create a new one that allows goods to be produced and sold and serves everyone involved. It is sustainable for the artisan, the designer, the final consumer and not just a few at the top end. We like to call it the prosperity chain."

Solar Tulips

2/23/2012

0 Comments

 
"The solar tulips work on a novel form of concentrated solar power (CSP). Conventional CSP uses sunlight and mirrors to focus heat on a fluid that creates steam and drives a turbine. Aora’s technology does not use a fluid. Rather, it positions its mirrors so that sunlight focuses on pressurized air in the 35-meter (115 feet) tulip tower, raising temperatures to 1,000 degrees C (1,832 F) and creating a hot pressurized gas that drives a turbine."
