Poupança conveniente l Perda [IN]consciente by Rute Morais
The fact that we waste water, consciously and unconsciously, and damage not only the planet and ourselves, including the monetary level, has led me to think of an automated innovative system. This system will provide the user all the data on water consumed in their own housing (the monthly statistics, annual, etc.). Furthermore, it should be noted that the system itself adapts to any location, as it allows to make the change in the value of the cost of water. But, actually, the project has somewhat inconsistent - when the user exceeds a value of x litres of water per month (established by the root system) where the water used at any one of the rooms of the house, the system frees a sound that raises irritability in user ... Paradoxically, the user buys the system almost a masochistic way.

But there are men for whom everything is insufficient to raise their awareness, there are men who are autodestroem…

At a time in wich man is destroying more than planting, nothing like using natural resources, wich means, resources that enable sistematic use without the risc of disappearing. This way, Cláudia Sousa, replying to a chalenge lauched by CIRAC Fashion, replaces animal skin for cork, wich curiously is abundant in Portugal. And actualy nowadays "cork is used in accessories, like in shoes, belts, bags, etc." All of this has an exepcional ecological importance, since the regeneration of the cork oaks is continuous and does not bring harm to our planet.
