Climate Change

Airships take you to a low-carbon future

2008.09.17 Makoto Nakagawa

For your holiday, why don't you travel by comfortable and low-carbon emitting airship instead of travelling by cramped airplane? Our airship will treat you to 360 degree panoramic views, a restaurant, a bar, a gym, and a safe and enjoyable flight.

Low Carbon Living 2022, initiated by a London-based charity, Forum for the Future, offers ideas for new products and services to achieve a low-carbon society. In addition to the airship "Airstream", the other lineups are "Kinetica", clothes which can charge mobiles and music players by converting human movement to electricity, and "U-Grow", space-saving techniques for growing vegetables in small spaces such as window-boxes and wardrobes. These products are based on the latest scientific technology and can be realized within the next 14 years.

Whilst much of the discussion on climate change is depressing, the main aim of this project is to provide cheerful information and encourage people to change their life style in a positive way. So let's all hope that Kinetica comes into fashion by 2022.
