Water Shelter for developing countries
Posted on Jun 17, 07 10:37 PM PDT
Developing countries often experience disasters such as recurring floods, which is why designer Robert Nightingale came up with the Water Shelter project that responds to such situations, focusing more in the geographical region of the Zambezi basin in Sub-Saharan Africa. This design makes it easy for the user to move around at a moment's notice, boasting all the necessary tools and information that promotes self-sufficiency no matter what stage of the disaster is. In addition, the design addresses shelter, drinking water, product transport and information needs in a single device, making this a potential life saver in many situations. Good to see some altruistic designs coming out instead of those that do nothing but glorify the excesses of capitalism.

What does your website do other than make money to glorify your pursuit of the excesses of capitalims?

What a stupid person...especially on this site especially made for the "excesses of capitalism". Except that I have never seen such a thing as "excess". No one ever has to much. Ask Paris.

You should start a blog highlighting these "excesses of capitalism" for people. Oh wait...
