"Containers" for drinking water from Skipping Rocks Lab are made of plants and seaweed which makes it possible for you to swallow it, with the water, whole.
Since, they are biodegradable, I wonder if it will be possible to leave a few blobs to water plants in my garden while I am away on a holiday.

Re-using the magnetic whiteboard with alphabets your kids have outgrown
What can you do with the magnetic whiteboard with alphabets your kids have outgrown
I am still keeping the set I bought for my children years ago as I can use the alphabets like a stencil for creating craft work.
Here is one noticeboard I did for a Buddhist Society I was a member at.
I named it, "Poem in my Ears", to hang strings of good attributes to cultivate.
Like the idea? You should not have any problem finding such whiteboard with alphabets in the market.

Solution to plastic litters in the Philippines
According to a report by Greenpeace, Philippines is the third worst plastic polluter of oceans.
However, there is hope for change through a trash management programme developed by nonprofit, Mother Earth Foundation. The city council of San Fernando allows the poor to make a living by picking through trash from every house daily and bring it all to sell at one of its 35 waste warehouses throughout the city.
Through this new system, more than 75 percent of waste gets composted or recycled and it costs the city council about 80 percent less to manage waste, as trash trucks are no longer required to collect waste from every house.
To boost plastic recycling, Dutch designer, Dave Hakkens, provides free tutorial at Precious Plastic so that one can learn t build a machine that can shred up plastic waste so that the material can be used to make useful artifacts.
More money can be made from a finished product than from recycling, if the poor adopt this idea.
