Kicking goals with green


One of the clients I work with is Origin a leading green energy provider.

So I'm always on the lookout for interesting green initiatives.

Today I discovered a really clever one. Especially for use in developing countries.

It's called s0ccket.

In essense it's a soccer ball that generates energy as people play with it.

Genius!

The people behind s0ccket describe it as a "fun, portable energy-harvesting energy source in the form of a soccer ball".

And for every 15 minutes of play it generates enough energy to power an LED light for three hours.

Best of all not only does it generate energy it also help kids burn theirs. Which surely has to be a good thing.

It's a nice idea. I'd be interested in comparing the reward for effort though. Maybe in comparison to putting a generator on bicycles/carts or a community water pump. But as a teaching instrument I think it's a fantastic idea.

weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let
me tell you, you will have hit the nail on the head.
Your

idea is outstanding; the problem is something that not

enough individuals are speaking intelligently about.

Needed to send you the very little observation to finally give many thanks again over the great things

you have discussed on this page. It has been really extremely
open-handed of people like you to offer publicly exactly what many individuals might have marketed as
an electronic book to make some money for

their own end, particularly since you could have

tried it if you ever decided. The strategies

also worked to be a fantastic way to be aware that the
rest have similar keenness just

like mine to understand very much more on the topic of this condition.


I believe there are a lot more

enjoyable
