New ideas from Illac Diaz

Ateneo Innovation and Entrepreneurship "New ideas create more and better new products and services; create more wealth."





Last night, I watched new ideas of Illac Diaz, a social entrepreneur, on how to preserve food and have lighting during typhoons and bad weather

1.  DIY ref - Pot ref made from two clay pots, one smaller and other bigger than the other.  The two are then sandwhiched with sand which are then wet with water.  A layer of cloth is placed in the inner pot where fruits and vegetable can be placed.  The pot ref can keep food fresh for 2 to 4 weeks.

Additional NuIdeas to be Shared from Mr. Illac Diaz

"Innovation is creating value from existing resources." "Entrepreneurship is creating something from practically nothing"

Mr Illac Diaz was featured at KSS (Kabuhayang Swak na Swak ) at ABS CBN Channel 2.  What were featured were his bicycle powered washing machine and softdrinks solar powered light.  (it provides 50 watts for houses of the poor free.  There are about l0t installations now)

His group, in quest of social entrepreneuship, invented the bicycle powered washing machine.  You can wash clothes and bike at the same time.
His group also made a school room from used PET softdrinks bottle.

Great inventive and entrepreneurial mind to help others.
