Designers Zhong-Fa Lie & Yoori Koo are students from the [Seoul National University of Science and Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-hydrogen-storage). The Hand Washing Pond is a ridged cover that is placed in your sink and gets rid of the need to crouch down or use a washboard. With a design that can be utilized by practically everyone, it's no surprise that the Hand Washing Pond won the silver medal for the 2011 IDEA awards. **Implications** - Modern society poses so many harms to the environment that consumers are looking for ways to live greener more than ever before.
