In Tokyo I visited the Mitsukoshi Ginsa store. I was required to put a soft bag over my head to prevent getting my make-up on clothes as I tried them on, a clever idea, and I wondered why it's not more widely adopted worldwide. I bought a top and asked to keep the bag so I could use it at home!
Liter of Light, a project of the Philippines-based nonprofit MyShelter Foundation, provides light to poor households around the world with limited or no access to electricity ? by collecting plastic bottles, filling them with water and bleach, and sticking them into roofs. The bleach-filled bottles then refract the light from outdoors into the house, lighting up much like a lightbulb. To make the bottles work at night a small LED lightbulb is slipped into the bottle, which in turn is hooked up to a mini-solar panel. http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/entry/plastic-bottles-electricity_us_596e64f4e4b0000eb1968bb5
A growing number of 55-plus adults seek opportunities to move from their career jobs to new ways of working and living in an evolving new life stage, that's now being called "encore careers". Despite widespread interest, few pathways to such post-career social impact work exist. A new 1 year college program in the US is providing this pathway. https://www.forbes.com/sites/nextavenue/2017/07/17/the-new-college-program-to-launch-encore-careers/
