6 million hard-hats are sold each year providing protection for employees in multiple industries however the design rarely considers hair. The construction industry consists of 10.9% of female workers. 20.4 million tons of construction materials are thrown into landfill each year. I experienced first hand the uncomfortable fit of hard-hats for female hair, witnessed excessive amounts of waste in construction bins & the difficulty in accessing & disposing of sanitary products on a building site. I seek assistance from manufactures in plastic moulding to help produce a hard-hat fit for female hair, with compartments & is made out of sustainable materials.
The Process from idea to bespoke fashion shoe.
1. Design: Every Design Tells A Story: From an idea inspired by the
customers.
2. The Perfect Fit: The making process begins with ensuring the
perfect fit.
3. Pattern Making: The most difficult step.
4. Clipping: All parts of the shoes are precisely hand cut.
5. Skiving: The process of thinning the leather for a
seamless transition of overlapping parts.
6. Folding: The skived pieces are then folded.
7. Sewing: Meticulous precision required- no Leather
mistakes possible.
8. Made To Last: Finally moulded onto a last.

India first started covering water irrigation canals with solar panels back in 2014 - providing both water and power to communities. By using the canals the solar panels don't compete for scarce land, they also protect the water from both evaporation and algae blooms, while the water cools the panels increasing their efficiency. Solar Canals come with their challenges, including higher engineering costs. But despite this, California is setting up a pilot project in the Turlock Irrigation District, in the San Joaquin Valley. https://thec
In a 'green chemistry' discovery scientists have taken a molecule of carbon, hydrogen & nitrogen, exposed it to sunlight & then stored the energy-rich isomer as a liquid & film. Returning the isomer to its original state releases heat, link that to a thermoelectric generator and you also get electricity. This creates a zero-emission, long-term solar energy storage system(18years!), which uses benign, all-renewable materials. Not yet delivering large-scale energy, nor cost-effective, but it is MOST promising! Pun intended - as the energy storage process is known as - Molecular Solar Thermal (MOST). https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/chem/news/Pages/Converting-solar-ene
