14-year-old Vinisha, from a town in South India, was concerned about the charcoal
burnt while ironing clothes in the ironing shops.
It is estimated that there may be around 10 million ironing carts in India and each burn
about 5 kg of charcoal every day. That is about 5 crore kg of charcoal burnt every day
causing pollution in the environment. After doing in-depth research, Vinisha who is
studying in class 9, came up with a solution to this problem ? a design for a mobile
ironing cart affixed with solar panels that connected to a 100Ah battery. All it takes is
5 hours of bright sunshine to fully charge the battery, which will power the steam iron
box for six hours!
Vinisha's novel idea has won her this year's prestigious Children's Climate Prize,
awarded by the Swedish organisation Children's Climate Foundation, which carries a
