In this age of portable electronic devices, who has the time to find a power source? People are growing more and more mobile, spending as much time about town as at home. At the same time, we carry more battery-powered electronics with us as well, from cell phones to MP3 players to laptops. Therefore a rather ironic conflict between individual and electronic mobility arises. If you’re always on the go, how do you have time to charge all these electronic devices?
Perhaps someday the solar cell phone will catch on, but in the meantime designer Jonathan Globerson thinks he has the answer : the free solar charging station. Designed to be made from retreated bamboo, Globerson hopes his solar charging stations will pepper the urban landscape of the near future, offering the fast-paced populace a free power source for recharging their laptops and cell phones , devices which have moved from luxuries to necessities for the modern worker.

Enter the Commander’s Emergency Relief Program (CERP), which is embracing solar technology to solve water issues for these remote areas where drinking water is still an inconsistent commodity. CERP’s answer consists of placing solar water filters alongside a water canal in or near the villages. Residents can then drink or fill up on fresh, potable water.
