Mar 22, 2009: EDAR
EDAR stands for "Everyone Deserves a Roof"
It's a cross between a shopping cart and a pop-up camper. Quote:

He sponsored a design contest, had several sizes built, in variations that even have pockets for collected cans/bottles. He had them tested for ruggedness, and critiqued by a bunch of experts and laymen, before settling on the final product. He figures manufacturing them in large quantities will bring the cost under $500, so they could be used not only for street homeless, but around the world at refugee centers and for disaster relief. A Los Angeles women's shelter is using them indoors for women with small children. Here's an EDAR actually in use, in a more natural setting. All is not sweetness and light, however... there are questions. Quote:
