A video on an earthen refrigerator that can keep vegetables fresh for up to four days
Meet M. Sivasamy, a potter based in Karumathampatti near Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu . He has built a clay refrigerator that can be used to store vegetables fresh for up to four days. He calls it the ‘earthen refrigerator’.
The earthen refrigerator comes in two sizes - two feet and two-and-a-half feet in length. It is priced at ₹1,600 and ₹1,800 and can be shipped across India.

Climate scientists and advocates long held an optimistic belief that once impacts became undeniable, people and governments would act. This overestimated our collective response capacity while underestimating our psychological tendency to normalise, says Rachit Dubey, assistant professor at the department of communication, University of California.
