2017 World Changing Ideas
Here are some of the winners from the World Changing Ideas Awards:
-
Edible Six Pack Rings: The six pack rings that hold sodas together are being transformed from plastic waste to edible treats in order to make them more useful - and slightly exciting.
-
3-D Printer for Replacement Tissues and Organs: What is it that you wanted from the printer? Oh, your internal organs? No worries, they'll be done printing in a minute or so!
-
Dollar Street: This is a street that will place global poverty and income inequality on a visual scale. Photographs will depict images from the extremely poor end of the spectrum to the extremely rich. How would a toothbrush differ across different income levels? Dollar Street will help you literally see this.
-
Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program: This program will allow health care providers to write out prescriptions for free fruit and vegetables for patients who suffer from diet-related diseases. What better way to incentivize people to eat healthy than to give them healthy food for free?
