月亮反應街燈 系統十分有創意。街燈的光度會隨著月亮的光暗調較。我們可以欣賞美麗的夜空，更可省能源，一舉兩得!希 望有繼續有更多有創意發明，保護環境和愛惜我們地球!
Lunar Resonant Streetlight system, the grand prize winner of Metropolis’ Next Generation 2007 contest , which has an embedded ultra-sensitive photocell that responds to the changing brightness of moonlight, turning on and dimming as appropriate, cutting down on unnecessary light pollutionand energy-efficient.
Hope that there will be more and more innovative idea/invention to protect our environment and save our Earth!

I love all the sexy and colorful visuals. Here is a very good infographical movie illustrating the principles of nuclear technology for a French energy company.
Hmm….For me, nuclear technology is quite dangerous somehow. I still remembered the horrible scenes of the Chernobyl Disaster TV news report in 1986 when I was still a little kid. Anyone still remember this accident? Nowadays, most of our electricity is generated in this way already. Could be have other greener and safer alternatives?

I fully support this initiative. You can do it too! As a designer, what you do is important which can make the difference! Please let designers around you know this initiative and pledge. Do more for our environment now!
“Design can change is an effort to bring together the world’s graphic design community to address the issues surrounding climate change.
Designers craft much of the world’s products/media and as such are well positioned to build awareness around this issue while encouraging more sustainable industry practices.”
– Transcript of presentation by Susan Szenasy who is editor of Metropolis mag, while addressing the AIGA 2003 crowd of designers. She had some pretty strong words for us backed up with solid facts.
“But I say that you—collectively, as graphic designers—are starting other fires, metaphorically speaking… You are responsible for helping to create 40% of North America’s solid waste; paper accounts for 81 million tons of waste annually..
Furthermore, the pulp and paper industry is the third largest industrial buyer of elemental chlorine. Chlorine is used to whiten paper, a process which is linked to a proven cancer-causing chemical called dioxin.”
It was Inhabitat’s two-year-birthday, they are launching a green-T-shirt design contest! The submission deadline is April 20th. Be quick and enter the contest now. Create a very eco-friendly Inhabitat T-shirt! Here is the details.
