Imagine every footstep we made was a step towards creating cleaner cities.

Let me introduce you to Pavegen. Started by Laurence Kemball-Cook, a guy on a mission to make electricity just from walking. This journey, which started in 2009, went through over 750 prototypes to finally create a floor tile that turns footsteps into clean energy.

Laurence got the idea while rushing through Victoria train station, a place with 75 million visitors a year, and thought, "Hey, we could totally turn this foot traffic into electricity!"

So, what does this all mean? Well, every time you step on a Pavegen tile, you’re making energy.

This isn’t just cool; it’s changing how we think about power in our cities. It's perfect for busy spots like airports, shopping malls, or even schools, where there’s consistent foot traffic. It's not dependent on the weather and works day or night too!

Plus, it’s not just about making energy. Pavegen is all about connecting with people, showing them how their actions can make a change, and even rewarding them for walking and creating power. They've already done this in 37 countries and more than 200 projects worldwide, empowering communities and educating people about renewable energy.

Would you like to see these in a city near you?
