If you visit http://biodesign.webeden.co.uk/ you will learn about a technique that allows anyone to make a low cost pv panel that will charge their phone. It can also be used in many other ways! It is being used in some African countries and Haiti but few know about it as yet. How can the message be spread? Graham
