The last 25 years have seen Mozambique ravaged by colonization, civil war, natural disasters and economic instability. Millions of children have been affected by the ongoing cycle of despair within the country. Imagining Mozambique is a thought-provoking collection of art inspired by the children of Mozambique featuring the work of photographers, graphic designers, illustrators and painters. The show aims to bring attention to the uncertain future these children face and raise funds for ASEM, a non-profit organization that helps the children and orphans of Mozambique by providing them with shelter, healthcare and support.

Environmental charity, Thames21, is making use of the relatively recent trend in flash mobbing, to pesuade people to clean up the Thames. Flash mobbing, tied to the growth of social networking sites and easy mobile communications, brings together a seemingly spontaneous crowd for a short period, that then just as quickly dissolves. Thames21 is planning four flash mob clean ups of the river’s shore line between 20th and 23rd August. Exact times and locations will be announced on the Thames21 site!

In the absence of a car-free world, electric cars powered by this pretty cool design by Neville Mars is an interesting solution. Called the Solar Forest, the panels actually follow the sun throughout the day for maximum efficiency, while the canopy provides some much needed shade for the cars below. Every single tree has been made from a collection of photovoltaic leaves mounted on a branching poll. At the base of these trees is a power outlet that will be ready to juice up your eco-rides.
