Wildgrid

Wildgrid

Wildgrid is a research project aimed at democratizing the way people create & consume electricity. Charge your phone with energy in your everyday life: the motion from your bike, the bacteria in your compost, or the sun in your window.

What inspired you to make this project?:
We see an opportunity for technology and design to make a huge impact on the environment and the way people create and consume electricity.

We believe that people care about the environment and saving the world, but don’t know how to. There are a lot of government initiatives and technological advancements happening in the world of sustainability, but these initiatives can take decades to be developed and implemented. In the meantime, what can the average person do? Usually the call to action for the average person is to “turn your lights off more often” or a similar mundane task. We don’t think that is good enough. With Wildgrid, they can be a part of the change and generate their own electricity immediately.
