Phosphoresce: to be luminous without sensible heat.
Because this blog is about the good thinsg in life, here are two new ideas that are paving the way for a better future.

| Sky City. |
- (Holy Cow!!!! This is CRAZY!!!) The world's tallest skyscraper is being built by the Broad Sustainable Construction company called, Sky City. "One Building, One city". Sky City will be 220 floors measuring 2,750 feet tall. Sky City, will live up to its name, serving as a small city with schools, a hospital, and housing. Sky City will be built in only seven months. Seven. You can count that, on both hands. So it will be finished around December of this year. According to BSC, this is the most sustainable way to accommodate a growing population. Plus, CO2 levels will be reduced because no one will need much transportation when their whole city, is one building. Building horizontally will save hundreds of acres of land from being used. This building will be five times more energy efficient than most. (To watch a cool video about it, click here.) This building in numbers:
- 92 elevators
- 930,000 square feet of interior vertical organic farms
- Accommodation for 4,450 families
- Apartments ranging from 640- 5,000 square feet
- A university student in India has developed "self-defense lingerie". Manish Mohan and some of her fellow students, produced this due to India's increasing rape reports. The lingerie will deliver 82 electric shocks to an attacker, which is enough to cause severe burns. It will also, when alerted, contact the local police, and a close friend or family member.
