Banning the Bottle

Europe Bids Adieu to Bubbly Water in Plastic Bottles AOC Green Beings 10/19/10

The quaint Italian villages, terraced vineyards and magnificent cliffs of the Cinque Terre attract three million visitors a year, hoardes of tourists who discard two million plastic bottles, many of which tumble down the cliffs and pollute beaches and the sea.

The worst month is August, when an average of 400,000 plastic bottles are discarded along the narrow strip of picturesque World Heritage coast, which lies south of Genoa in the province of Liguria. via Telegraph UK

MIT’s The Huggable

Frida is a friendly, huggable robot who just loves to help out.The Huggable is also the name of a new type of robotic companion being developed at the MIT Media Lab for healthcare, education and social communication applications.

Just as Frida’s owner ABB insists that she won’t replace humans, MIT says that The Huggable isn’t designed to replace any particular person in a social network, but rather to enhance the human experience.
