    We've all seen the men and women who live out of shopping carts in cities throughout the world, but imagine if they could add one of <a href="http://www.kevincyr.net/index.php?/ongoing/camper-kart/">Kevin Cyr's</a> awesome pop-up tents to the mix. The Camper Kart is a portable home that boasts a cozy-looking bed, a lantern and even storage space. The earth-friendly shelter is made largely out of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling">recycled materials</a> that could potentially give the world's less fortunate a sheltered, private space in which to lay their heads at night.
