Drinking Water out of Air

An advertising initiative that serves for more than just promotion. Our world would be a better place if we had more of these. 

The billboard pictured here is located in Lima, Peru, and it produces around 100 liters of water a day (about 26 gallons) from nothing more than humidity, a basic filtration system and a little gravitational ingenuity.

This Is Water

In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn't become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death.

The ladder of success isn’t a ladder, it’s a series of steps with giant gaps interspersed along the way. Only those that take leaps and risk the fall will rise. Then there comes a point where the gaps are too far apart and you’ll need to create the steps that don’t exist. This is where people freeze, trapped between where they are and where they want to be. This space is where you innovate instead of replicate, lead instead of follow, and stand out instead of blending in. Inspired by “The Icarus Deception” by Seth Godin
