Open Source Washing Machine Project Rethinks Clothes-Washing 

,----[ Quote ]
| Most of us don't think about the cultural 
| context of our washing machines--we just 
| toss in clothes, turn on the device, and 
| don't ponder it further. But the reality is 
| that the majority of people on the planet 
| wash clothes by hand, mostly because of 
| poverty and lack of available resources. 
| Enter the Open Source Washing Machine 
| Project, which rethinks the way we wash 
| clothes based on economical, sociological, 
| cultural and environmental conditions.
