  • Rainproof, sturdy, solar powered, LED lightbulb could light the developing world.
    <b>1.6 billion people</b> in the world still use kerosene lamps for light. Not only are they non-renewable and expensive -- they can consume up to <b>5%</b> of a family's income -- they also give off noxious cancer-causing fumes that amount to the emissions of 30 million cars. Nokero plans to improve air quality and reduce global warming emissions by replacing the unhealthy use of kerosene with their durable, rainproof, solar powered LED light bulb. They hope that this low cost, rechargeable light bulb will improve lives in the developing world by allowing people to kick kerosene to the curb.
