My innovation, the Solar Ironing Cart has a great impact on 13 of the 15 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). Making use of the Solar Energy is the objective of the innovation as it eliminates the 300-year-old tradition of using charcoal to heat an iron box for pressing clothes by the vendors on a cart or in a shop in the developing countries in Asia, Africa and South America. There may be 10 million traditional ironing carts in India, which burn about 50 million kilos of charcoal every day! Just imagine the number of trees cut down in India for making charcoal on an industrial scale, in 1000’s of tons. The numbers around the world would be very shocking! The Solar Ironing Cart could save millions of trees from becoming charcoal, which harms the environment, pollutes air, water and land, reduces the habitats of animals, birds, insects and bees, decreases agriculture productivity, intensifies the climate change and magnifies global warming directly and indirectly. The practical solution is the Solar Ironing Cart, which has a sustainable business model for the vendors to stop using the hazardous charcoal, use the renewable solar energy and offer various additional services to earn more money besides pressing clothes. The Solar Ironing Cart has won national and international awards for using a renewable source of energy and having a sustainable business model for the ironing vendors to lead a dignified life in the society. The solar ironing cart is a social business on wheels - mobility towards the clean environment and green future.
