Just came across this amazing story on Discover magazine's blog!"The Kyoto Box, a $6 solar cooker made from cardboard, has won the Financial Times-sponsored Climate Change Challenge contest for innovative ways to decrease the human impact on the environment. Its capacity to not only cook food but also sterilize water could help three billion people reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The Kenya-based Norwegian creator of the cooker, Jon Bøhmer, has been awarded $75,000 to put the idea into production."

Love this item. Takes me back to days of being a Girl Scout! The seemingly simple ideas sometimes are incredibly brilliant, yes?!
Not just sometimes, CJ. Almost always simple ideas are brilliant :). They're more useful to people because they're simple and that's their brilliance.
