I’ve picked three.
Top of the list is Belgian brewers being able to use the sun for making beer from urine. Scientists from the University of Ghent have found a way of using solar power to turn urine into drinking water and fertiliser. An experiment at a music festival then used some of the water for making beer. Hence the phrase coined by the team – “from sewer to brewer”.
Second is the idea of consuming cockroach milk as a source of protein. Researchers in India have discovered that milk from the Pacific beetle cockroach is four times more nutritious than cow’s milk and its protein releases energy over a long period of time. I wonder how long it will take to produce a glass half full.
Third is a hydrating brand which is not a water, called Original Source. It has four milk flavours which are not milk – almond, bamboo, coconut and vanilla. But what is it really? It’s a shower moisturising soap.
