Solar and wind power on every roof - should urban rooftops be used to power cities?
Smart water meters - Can we encourage sustainable behavior through providing more information on the resource we consume?
Building blocks from mixed plastic waste - Recycling plastic can be complex - what if we could turn mixed plastic into lightweight and affordable building materials?
