Toilet.org would be a perfect candidate for the new initiative by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
That’s some big news: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding an initiative to create new, eco-friendly toilets.
Announced just yesterday in Rwanda in Africa, the press release states:
[..] In London, a talented Scottish mathematician and watchmaker named Alexander Cummings was turning his energies to solving a major crisis of his time: improving sanitation. In 1775, thanks to his ingenuity, Cummings became the first person to patent a “water closet” or what we know as the flush toilet.
[..] But more 200 years later, one thing hasn’t really changed.
[..] In short, we need to “Reinvent the Toilet”.
[..] It should be a toilet for the 21st century – a toilet for the billions whose needs are not being met.
[..] Today I’m pleased to announce that the foundation will be funding eight teams in the first year of the challenge to Re-invent the Toilet for a total of $3 million.
It would be fantastic if the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation acquired Toilet.org for that purpose 😀
