Presenting the Innovative Ooho

By: Daniela Silva

Ooho an edible water “bottle” has been developed by design students in imperial college london. Created by Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez, Pierre Paslier, and Guillaume Couche this new development may bring down the plastic plague that litters our oceans and landfills. Cheap, easy to make, and with a great green initiative the Ooho presents a strong competitive front to compete with bottled water.

It takes two pennies to produce one Ooho and even better, you can make them at home, the ingredients can easily be ordered online and be made in you kitchen safely in minutes and takes trial and error to get the consistency you prefer. In order to be able to take these around you will need a clean container and clean hands to handle them in order to consume them.

With a natural base of calcium chloride and brown algae, the Ooho will have a substantially fast  decomposition time as compared to plastic bottles which take 450 - 1000 years to decompose, and some plastic bottles may never biodegrade.

Ooho is still a product yet to be introduced reviewed and improved, yet the world is completely delighted to see such a fun, environmentally friendly and innovative product that has the potential to push us into the right direction of cleaning up our earth and taking care of our people.

Safety cannot be sold.

An innovative article of clothing is presumably one of the most liberating article of clothing that any woman will feel safe in; the anti-rape undergarment. Not only will this ensure young vulnerable ladies will not be at risk for potential rape however to what degree is this really liberating?

The garment is made out of a strong material that is resistant to cutting and pulling, it is built in such a way it can not be pulled off without the consent of the wearer nor can it be pulled or moved in the thigh area to gain “easy” access. It locks like a chastity belt with over 1,000 different combinations, this garment is comfortable, adjustable and obviously a great choice for those living in statistically high-rape countries.The garment has been created to give the victim more control of the situation; but since when was this in the control of the victim?

Anti-rape wear is a depressing reminder to all, that no matter in whatever situation the victim, may it be your mother, your sister or your daughter is responsible for the attack. One in thirty rape victims actually see their attacker prosecuted and in a world where men are blindly convicted as not guilty it is only a matter of time until we have to hide away and become unseen in the public eye. Anyone can be a victim; Men, children, trans-gender and handicapped persons are also vulnerable. The entire population should at this point be anxious.

Anti-rape underwear is great, but it is only a temporary solution to a drastic pandemic. We must push and fight for rape-culture to be abolished; for the true liberation of our people. We will not be free until a mother has no worry of her child having their innocence taken away.
