Dominica Island Blog: Sharing Every Dominican Moment with the World

Ramblings From The Nature Paradise of Dominica


Moveover greentech’s like plug-in hybrids, solar, eco-friendly data centers, pedal power is taking over. :smile: Google, the internet search giant has partnered with a bike company Specialized in alternative energy and ad firm Goodby Siliverstein & Partners on a contest called the “Innovate or Die Pedal-Powered Machine Challenge.”

The companies are calling for all pedal-minded die-hards to document and submit their innovative inventions that transform pedaling energy (or DC Current) into new uses and run machines. I’m sure that there some brillant minds in the Caribbean that can come up with unique innovative ideas – What about you? Check out this pedal–powered laptop innovation video from the Specialized guys themselves.

The Grand prize is not so Grand – a Specialized bike and a $5,000 dollar check. :shock: Well why not, you’re gonna do this for the planet, right? For more info, read all the rules on the official website “innovate-or-die” (sounds little creepy guys) and get your entries in before Dec 15th. Winners will be announced in January. Come on :!: All you island brainiacs…
