Innovate or die
Hertford (BikeBiz)- Winner of Specialized and Google's Innovate or Die contest is water filtration trike. The Innovate or Die contest challenged participants to create a pedal-powered solution for offsetting climate change. There were 100+ qualified entries submitted via YouTube. One of the comp judges Rich Silverstein, founding partner at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, said: “It’s up to the next generation to solve the mess we find ourselves in today. The success of the Innovate or Die competition gives me confidence that they have the imagination and creativity to succeed.” Aquaduct was the brainchild of five California-based design students who wanted to address the 1.1 billion people in the world who don’t have access to clean drinking water. The pedal-powered machine transports and filters water without burning fossil fuels or wood, both of which contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions.
Amsterdam (Wazzup)-Design contest, supported by Google, seeks pro-bike climate change busting ideas Specialized Bicycles and Goodby Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco Bay Area have teamed up with Google to create the Innovate or Die Pedal-Powered Machine Contest. This contest challenges participants to create a pedal-powered solution for offsetting climate change. The same amount of energy that it would take a person to walk at 3 mph, would allow them to travel at 10–15 mph by bicycle.
