My son just got home from school and gave me his results of his Environmental Education test and they were appalling. I sometimes wonder what his future will be, if he goes on like this. I sometimes wonder what his future will be if we go on like this. Like his abysmal scores aren’t we too scoring badly when it comes to environmental protection. We need to do something now and somehow change our lifestyles and appliances in such a way that they do not harm our surroundings. Designer Mathieu Acquart is one of those futuristic industrial designers who tries to incorporate the hidden agenda of eco-balance in his designs. Take the case of his Human Heat Cell (HHC) concept. It is a mobile heating system that is truly (100%) eco-friendly. Dubbed as the fireplace of the future, it uses Methanol fuel cells to get the warmth going. The design even incorporates elements of hygrometry to it. With such conscious designs, hopefully our children’s future will not be as bleak as it currently seems.
