At TEDxBerlin 2012, Laurence Kemball-Cook presented "Turning Our Cities Into Human Power Plants." His talk introduced Pavegen, an innovative technology that embeds power-generating systems directly into pavement.

Pavegen harnesses the energy from human footsteps, converting it into usable power. This groundbreaking approach transforms walking into a viable alternative energy source, effectively turning urban environments into sustainable power generators.

Globally, three billion people rely on inefficient open fires for daily cooking, primarily burning firewood. This practice leads to significant health, safety, and deforestation issues.

In late 2014, research by Fabio Parigi, Climate Healers, and the University of Iowa in Rajasthan, India, led to the Mewar Angithi. This $1 insert converts traditional inefficient cookstoves into high-efficiency units.

Since 2014, the Mewar Angithi has positively impacted over 25,000 lives in India, Ghana, and Kenya, a testament to the work of Dr. Fabio Parigi, Dr. Sailesh Rao, and Professor H.S. Udaykumar. This initiative was highlighted in a TEDx talk. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
