Cool Design!
I am in a course called Sustainable Design this semester. Our first project is to take a product and reuse it to make another product. The coolest example we were shown was a record that had been made into a bowl. He put a clear sticker over the bottom of the bowl so that you could still see the label. Well, I've been trying to think about products to try to reuse. I happened to find another cool design today surfing the web. This product is a merry-go-round that doubles as a water pump designed in South Africa. The kids play on it, and it pumps water for the village into a high reservoir! Very cool.
