Technology
Scottsdale Community College Offers a Glimpse Into Future of EVs
Electric vehicles have recently achieved wide public popularity, with sales up 2.7% last year. The industry is seeing a massive surge in support across multiple sectors, leading car companies to pour their efforts into expanding technology behind their electric vehicle models.
Our team paid a visit to Stemistry flower bar and coffee lab to celebrate 16-year-old entrepreneur Dylan Capshaw’s expansion into Downtown Phoenix. Check out the details in our Good section.
Our team was thrilled to meet with the City of Phoenix, Shape Up US, and More Than Modeling to put the finishing touches on planning for our Earth Day Extravaganza happening later this month.

Modular Refugee Tents
Zaha Hadid Architects announced a joint venture partnership with the Education Above All Foundation (EAA) to donate 27 tents to communities in Turkey, Syria and Yemen that will serve as schools, clinics and emergency shelters. The tents are weather-proof, modular structures that can be easily moved and re-assembled, making them ideal for displaced populations. The structures also incorporate components that can be upcycled or recycled for sustainability.
Eco-Friendly Prefab Hobbit Homes
Green Magic Homes offer an innovative and eco-friendly way to build. These homes are composed of prefabricated, vaulted panels which are made from composite laminate materials. They are easily assembled, with perforated flaps allowing for simple connection and secure sealing of the components together. Like traditional hobbit homes, reinforced walls are covered with soil and greenery, making them energy efficient and energy saving.
Carbon Neutral Eggs
Dutch company Kipster is revolutionizing the egg industry with carbon-neutral eggs. The company reduces greenhouse gas emissions internally and offsets any remainder by supporting external carbon reduction projects. Kipster feeds its chickens with upcycled food, reducing the need for land to grow corn and soy, and leaving more for human consumption.
Investing in Green Tech
Nextracker, a company that provides solar tracking systems and software solutions, recently raised $638 million in its IPO - the largest of 2023. This is indicative of investor confidence in the solar energy industry given solar prices have decreased and should further decrease with the anticipated Inflation Reduction Act subsidies. This will create increased demand for Nextracker's equipment, which helps adjust solar panel angles and optimize energy yield from the sun.
Made from Recycled Textiles
Arvin Goods is a Seattle-based clothing company that strives to shatter the methods of the current pollution and waste-producing apparel world. It started by making socks from discarded fabric scraps and with it, created a new industry category deemed Clean Basics, defined by its use of low-impact materials. Expansion of the line now includes hats and other apparel.
