Smog-Cycling: An Innovative Solution to Air Pollution

For centuries, human progress—from making fire to building factories—has driven development. Yet, this progress has come at a cost: a regressing natural environment. One of the most significant factors contributing to this global change is air pollution, a problem created by humans that we must solve now. Conventional solutions often fall short, prompting the need for innovative approaches like smog-cycling.

The Process of Smog-Cycling
Smog-cycling begins with devices like smoke absorbers and KAALINK installed on bus stands, billboards, and traffic signals. These devices collect and store smoke in cylinders, which volunteers then collect for recycling into useful products like AIR-INK and tiles.

AIR-INK and Sustainable  Tiles
AIR-INK is made from carbon-based pollutants captured and purified from exhausts and chimneys. The KAALINK device collects these pollutants, which are then converted into ink by mixing purified carbon with various oils. Additionally, tiles can be made from black soot (black carbon), a byproduct of burning fossil fuels. The soot is baked into cement designs, sometimes with banana peels and seaweed added for unique markings and colors.

A Call to Action
These initiatives are already in place in India, showing the potential for innovative solutions to improve air quality. Let's encourage and empower these ideas to make our world a better place to live. Let’s start it from our surroundings. And remember, there are many other things that can be made from just smoke.
