Grey Dhaka, the Bangladesh wing of New York-based advertising agency Grey, in collaboration with Grameen Intel Social Business Limited (a Dhaka-based IT company), has developed ‘Eco-Cooler’, a device that has come as a gift to the rural poor in Bangladesh who suffer from power outages during the summer season when the mercury climbs to 45 degree Celsius

A brainchild of Ashis Paul, the creative supervisor at Grey Dhaka, the window-fitted device that is made of recycled plastic bottles brings down the temperature of a room where it is installed by five degree Celsius.

Grey Dhaka has claimed that around 25,000 people across the globe have successfully downloaded the technique of making eco-cooler from the Internet. It has no plans of commercializing the process as it has been invented to benefit the poor who cannot afford air-conditioners. 


We urge the people living in the sub-continent and especially in developing countries to take up the idea and spread it among the rural people to help them live comfortably. 
The best thing about eco-coolers is that it is made up of just plastic boards and PET bottles, and one could make a device for as little as Rs.500.
