How To Make Shampoo Using A Bike-Powered Blender

One of the reasons I love working with the Insteading team is because the goal of this site is to provide inspiration for those of you who are tired of depending on the big box stores for the things they need.

No matter how many articles I read about alternative energy or MYO-household products, I’m always surprised when someone comes up with a truly innovative way to power their lives while living off the grid.

Today’s video how-to comes to us from Maya Pedal, a non-profit based in Guatemala which makes a variety of machines that run on “pedal” power. This is a video illustrating one of the innovative uses of their pedal-powered blender. Enjoy!

Beth believes many societal problems can be solved through sharing or other alternatives to the corporate system. I'm interested in exploring the growing collaborative consumption movement and how sharing is changing the way we work and play. See what I'm up to by following me on Twitter as @ecosphericblog.
