I'm currently writing a paper on the national competitive advantage of the Dutch flower industry. So far, its been interesting and also a bit boring. Because I'm in the Netherlands during the fall, there are no flowers. It has been interesting to read about how the Dutch have innovated so that they can produce flowers year round despite the many difficulties the weather bring.
While randomly surfing the internet (procrastination >.<" but on topic - sorta), I came across this article, detailing how a restaurant in the town of Zeist is harnessing the energy from a revolving door. They have figured out how to convert the energy produced from someone passing through the door into electricity. Each time someone passes through the door, enough energy is produced to make a cup of coffee!
Its a pretty interesting read. Check it out: Holland Puts a New Spin on Old Technology to Combat Climate Change [via EcoWorldly]
