social issue:there have high number of people sudden death from heart disease, there also have many of them could alive if have medicin or intravenous injection in time. this medical box is designed for these people.
if heart disease patient fell uncomfortable or pass out at street, every one could help them alive by give them medicin in time.
in this medical box there have 4 space to place tablets and other side there have intravenous injection needle tubing and injection medicament.
this some fact about people who have heart disease
Number of noninstitutionalized adults with diagnosed heart disease: 27.1 million.
Percent of noninstitutionalized adults with diagnosed heart disease: 11.8%.
There are 250,000 to 450,000 sudden cardiac arrests each year in the United States.
There are over 450,000 sudden cardiac arrests each year in China.

video reflection- who killed the electric car
This video stars at a solemn ceremony, which shows respect to the high technology and environmental friendly idea vehicle. The electric car was appearing in 1996 California. Last century, the electric car are much popular than gas car because electric car are much quieter smoother and easy to charge at home. Why the gas car developing so fast and occupy the whole vehicle market nowadays? Because gasoline was cheap at that period and the gas car have a faster speed.
Nowadays the disadvantages of gas car are appeared. Every gallon of gas produces 19 tonnes of carbon dioxide. The greenhouse gas mostly as we know is co2 bring out many environmental issue like climate change raise the temperature of atmosphere and huge amount of melting glacier cause waterflood the polluted air also case caused cancers and respiratory problems.
This vedio focus on the destiny of EV1, which is a high technology electrical vehicle with high speed and designed with two-seater in 1990.The "Impact", at the Los Angeles Auto Show. That September, the California Air Resources Board mandated major-automaker sales of EVs, in phases starting in 1998. From 1996 to 1998 GM produced 1117 EV1s, 800 of which were made available through three-year leases.
Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Nissan and Toyota also produced limited numbers of EVs for California drivers. In 2003, upon the expiration of GM's EV1 leases, GM crushed them. The crushing has variously been attributed to 1) the auto industry's successful federal court challenge to California's zero-emissions vehicle mandate, 2) a federal regulation requiring GM to produce and maintain spare parts for the few thousands EV1s and 3) the success of the oil and auto industries' media campaign to reduce public acceptance of electric vehicles.
The vedio also illustrate some other kind of vehicle like hydrogen vehicles, plug in hybrids and other environmental friendly technology use in vehicles like solar power. The vedio group also interviews many people about their thought and they give the feedback of their considerations as consumer.
The vedio also discusses the reason of electric car death. There have many valuable experiences for us to consider into our design. Everything will consider the consumer need. As a designer we need show the responsibility of protect environment.

vedio packaging
Packaging material include tinplate, aluminum, glass, plastic and cardboard, these material can recycled after use. There also have chance to reuse these packaging materials directly. Packaging should also be stored and handled carefully to avoid damage that may prevent its reuse.
These videos provide information about recycle process of these materials. For instance there is very high rate that 87% aluminum cans are recycled in Germany.
Around 83 per cent of waste paper recycled in Australia is used to make
packaging and industrial paper. The remainder is used to make printing and
Writing paper, tissues and newsprint.
Before recycle process separating and segregating packaging waste ensures it does not become contaminated. Successful recycling requires clear signage, training, monitoring and space as discussed in the Recycling solid waste fact sheet. If large volumes are collected consider a compactor to maximize storage space.
Tin Cans: Tin cans are made from 95% steel and only 5% tin. In order to be recycled the cans must be “detinned” using a caustic chemical solution that dissolves the tin from the steel. The steel is then sent to steel mills to be made into new products and the liquid is transferred into an electrolysis bath. When electricity is applied the tin collects on a plate where is can later be melted off and fashioned into ingots.
Aluminum: Beverage cans are the most-recycled consumer product in the United States. When aluminum reaches a recycling plant it is shredded and melted. The molten aluminum is gradually hardened into ingot form. These ingots can then be made into aluminum sheets or other desired forms. The metal sheets are used to make new aluminum cans and the cycle begins again. Making aluminum from recycled aluminum scrap take only 4% of the energy that it takes to make aluminum from raw bauxite ore.
Steel: Steel can easily be removed from other recyclables because it is magnetic. Once separated the steel is melted in a furnace and then poured into casters that roll the steel into sheets. Recycled steel cans may be made into new cars, girders for buildings, ships, or new food cans. Steel can also be recycled again and again. It does not lose any of its strength or quality in the recycling process. It can be a never-ending process that continues to save energy and resources.
cardboard :The process of recycling cardboard involves soaking the cardboard in water and stirring it until it has broken down into individual fibres. Each time cardboard is recycled the fibres get a bit longer but cardboard can still be recycled several times before the fibres break down completely. The cardboard is then cleaned and any contaminants like ink, bits of sticky tape and metal clips are removed. After cleaning, the pulp is then ready for draining and drying and rolling into sheets which removes any final traces of moisture and binds the fibres together to make the cardboard. The recycled cardboard is now ready to make into new cardboard boxes and packaging.
