Designer personal wind power
Philip Starck, once an outlandish designer caught up in his own world of useless juicers and uncomfortable chairs, is fast becoming an advocate for sustainable design that lends to the greener good. After I mild breakdown over his years of designing useless, materialistic items, Starck has created a sleek and reasonably sized home version of a wind turbine called Democratic Ecology. Costing just over $600 it may seem a bit pricey but it will offset around 20-60% of your home's energy costs. It may be a bit too modern and flashy looking for some but the idea that even the most ridiculous designer minds out there are feeling the need to find more purpose for their products shows that the green-shift is permeating industries and individuals we may have thought unreachable.
