Eco Factor: Sustainable radio powered by solar energy.
Becky Barber, a student at the University of Plymouth, has created a blueprint for a solar-powered radio constructed entirely from bamboo. The designer is hoping that the radio will help build a social enterprise opportunity in Madagascar.
The idea is that the use of sustainable and naturally occurring resources in the construction of the radios can provide jobs and opportunities for people in Madagascar. Becky has produced two models – a desktop version and a portable one constructed from hand-woven reeds.
