Most people like to ask for a plastic bag when they are checking out in the supermarket. The truth is that most of these bags will end up in the ocean, killing wildlife and even ending up in the seafood that we eat. But two sisters from Indonesia are doing their best to prevent this from happening. Two junior high school students, Isabel and Melati Wijsen, started Bye Bye Plastic Bags in 2013. The group's first goal was to stop the use of single-use plastic shopping bags across Bali. It succeeded. The government of Bali made a law to stop the bags in October, 2019. |

In many parts of the world, clean water is more valuable than gold. People get sick and die just because they don't have enough clean drinking water. A teenager named Marcus Deans saw a photo of a child in Africa drinking dirty water when he was 12. "I was surprised that this still happens in the world, "Marcus says. Since then, he has been working on a filter. Marcus calls the filter NOGOS. Now 17, Marcus is still working on NOGOS." What keeps me going is that I want to find a way for people who need clean water, he says. |

Recently, a man introduced his latest invention to the world-an upside down hair-washing machine. The strange machine looks like an upside down table used to cure back pain, with a transparent tank fitted near the bottom.

After he turned on the machine the table slowly moved backwards until his head was fitted into the tank. And after he opened a valve, water began to fill in the tank while a small board at the bottom started turning round and round rapidly, creating a current, which ensured that all of his hair was given a good wash. At last, after the water ran from the tank, hot air from the hair-drying system gave the man a perfect blow dry.
