Momentum Volunteer Opportunity
Momentum highlights Oklahoma artists ages 30 and younger, it is packed with compelling visual art, new film and video, animated performances and live music. Check it out here —> Momentum Website
We have the unique opportunity to help this great show get turned back into a warehouse. :)
Yup, we’ll help send art to their new owners (packing it in cars) and help clean the place up. We need your help from 12:00p - 4:00p(come and go), but you can arrive earlier and stay later if you really want to.
I really need to get the number of our volunteers back to Momentum quickly, so please RSVP as soon as humanly possible!
ps. The art show goes all week, go by and see the work being done by young artists in Oklahoma! Momentum Website
RSVP TO VOLUNTEER RIGHT NOW!
Wilhelmson, a Swedish architect, professor, and entrepreneur, has developed this thing called the Peepoo bag. It’s a single-use toilet for slums in the developing world where there aren’t permanent facilities. From The New York Times:
Once used, the bag can be knotted and buried, and a layer of urea crystals breaks down the waste into fertilizer, killing off disease-producing pathogens found in feces.
This is a great invention. Not only does this bag give people a more sanitary way of dealing with their waste, it also reduces plastic trash and provides some fertilizer. It may seem a little gross, but in slums the alternatives are often much grosser. Wilhelmson plans to sell these for 2 to 3 cents each. I imagine the challenge will be getting them distributed.
The Peepoo Bag: A Biodegradable, Single-use Toilet
A New Zealand outfit called Martin Aircraft Company is going to start selling commercial jetpacks for about $75,000. They’re 200-horsepower dual-propeller packs that can “reach heights of up to 2,400 metres and top speeds of 60mph” and don’t require a pilot’s license.
Jetpacks for Sale!
